RELATIONSHIPS & ATTACHMENT
The Pattern is Usually Bigger Than the Argument
Relationships are shaped by more than what happens in the moment. Attachment, past experiences, emotional safety, nervous system responses, and learned ways of connecting can all influence how you respond to each other.
Notice what happens when one of you feels hurt, disconnected, criticized, rejected, overwhelmed, or misunderstood.
