Status Updates From أريد لهذه العلاقة أن تنجح: ...

Clarity, apology, & plan to fix an issue. A true apology has responsibility, remorse, reflection, repair, & request. You have to make the other person feel heard to know what to apologize for- what hurt them

Regulate your nervous system or else a constructive conversation can’t happen

Instead of criticizing, state your needs. Take responsibility, self-soothe, & heal past hurts. Hurtful convos come up when you’re disconnected, holding onto something, stressed, aren’t curious, or under the influence.

Be open & receptive to your partner. Assuming their feelings or thoughts creates disconnection

Appreciation is celebrating your partner & yourself

We love boundaries

Boundaries help couples from fusing together where one person is compensating and the other doesn’t realize how much they’re taking

Self compassion 🤍

We can learn to disconnect from our selves in childhood. Having our needs denied, performing, and discounted feelings.

Responsiveness is part of a relationship. Responding to a parter, ignoring them, or shutting them down are all responses.

Honoring each other is how a relationship will work. Honor yourself & your partner
