Free Phone Consultation

 


Let's set the scene...

You and your partner are in the middle of a discussion when something comes up where you differ in opinions. Suddenly you find that both of you are starting to get heated and the yelling commences. You both look over and realize the kids were in the room the whole time.

What do you do?? 🤔

The best place to start is before an argument even begins. Communicate with your partner about the Cues and Cogs in your relationship.
A cue is a thing that alerts (whoever notices first) that the heat is beginning. The Cog is what puts a stop to the cycle.

For the cue, you can utilize specific words or phrases that are agreed upon before that are kindly communicated to your partner prior to a debate occurring.

The cog is the validation of the other's feelings and then and do the opposite of what you're feeling. It stops the cycle from continuing into the future for you both.

If you and your partner are struggling with communication, Life By Design Therapy has therapists that are ready to support you both. Please visit the link in our bio to schedule a free phone consultation.

New Parents Needing Support

Image
Parenting can be satisfying and fulfilling. But it can also be difficult and time-consuming. Parents must tend to an infant or child’s daily needs. They are also responsible for helping each of their children develop life skills. These skills include daily living skills, social skills, and appropriate behaviors. Parents with more than one child must account for the personalities of each, as well. New parents , overwhelmed parents, and parents facing mental health conditions may benefit from the support of a mental health professional. A  therapist or counselor  can help parents through difficult situations or behavioral concerns. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/
