Self-soothing is essential to conflict management. As you work to self-soothe, consider what can help your partner as well.

What calms them down? A long hug? Saying something kind and gentle such as, “I hear you”? Or do they just need you to listen for a while? If you’re not sure, ask them. “What can I do to soothe you?” Their answer may hold the key to successful repair attempts, better conflict management, and a stronger emotional bond.

You can course-correct an argument that gets too heated by regulating your own response and you can make repairs by soothing your partner as well. Discover Gottman Relationship Coach, and get the tools you need to restore your connection: https://bit.ly/3ci5PUO

Being distracted as a parent is expected to a degree, especially with multiple children in the home and/or with parents working. It’s part of family life when you have to balance chores, meals, jobs, and a budget. However, it is the level to which the distraction occurs that matters.

You might remember Mandy Len Catron from her hit Modern Love essay about going through 36 questions to fall in love. You might have even tried those questions yourself. Catron's book is called How to Fall in Love With Anyone, and Vice's Rachel Wilkerson Miller spoke with her about it.

If you found yourself walking around today feeling exhausted and asking “what the hell just happened??” STOP 🛑

We all just experienced a major event or what therapists like to call it- a trauma. Process, take time, take care. Don’t just keep moving. Give your body time to understand- eat some healthy food, replenish your body, move your body, SLEEP, read, write, listen to music, take some long walks in the warmth, talk to friends or family.

Breath.

Take care.
