You Should Really Know What I Need
How assuming your partner is a mind reader affects communication The idea that the more we love someone the more skilled at mind reading we become causes more problems than it solves!"You should know what I need if you really loved me!"

Depending on your family system that often didn't work so well either!Healthy dynamics involve communication and willingness to clarify. As we grow and mature our needs change and also how...

Family Roles and Family Anxiety
How family roles affect our personal & professional lives Our family system has its own way of dealing with issues of intimacy and anxiety. One of the ways in which we find our place in our family system is to take on roles.These roles have unhealthy and healthy expressions. They can serve to keep the family enmeshed and family anxiety suppressed. The more challenged or dysfunctional the family, the more fixed the roles can get. Someone in the family may get cast as the troubled, messed up one whilst a sibling becomes the golden child.

Getting to Know your Parents
The benefits of knowing your parents beyond the parent/child dynamic One of the most intense, influential and challenging relationships we can experience in our lives can be with one or both of our parents. The parent/child dynamic for some has meant chasing parental approval all our lives or actively trying to push away from what we perceive to be overbearing parental intrusion into our lives. This intrusion for some of us doesn't seem to abate just because we have become an adult.It is amazing that we can be around someone all our li...

Revisiting Arguments in Relationships
Using arguments for understanding rather than winning As a couple, the health of our argument style can be far more important to the overall success of our relationship than what we fight about or how often.In healthy relationships, there are certain rules, parameters and boundaries that are not crossed due to the mutual respect we carry for one another and the relationship overall. The argument backdrop isn't about winning at all costs, proving the rightness of my argument, maintaining the one-up position but rather about using this experience to know more about one another...

Recovery After A Toxic Relationship
Challenges that may come up during the recovery journey It would appear to be logical that after we leave a toxic relationship it instantly gets better and only improves from there. Unfortunately, when it comes to the road of recovery it can actually be an extreme roller coaster with a lot of mixed emotions. It is sometimes harder to recover from a toxic breakup than it is from a reasonably healthy relationship breakup. It is so important to have a good support group around yourself as you begin to rebuild. It is also important to mo...

Supporting People who are in Toxic Relationships
Effectively offering support to those in abusive relationships Given that abusive dynamics are unfortunately so common, there is every possibility that someone we love could find themselves in an abusive romantic relationship where both their physical and mental wellbeing is being damaged.Effective support through this period requires some understanding otherwise we can unintentionally be playing into the hands of the abuser. The person who is experiencing threat, coercive control, domination and denial of their basic human rights needs to be met with full support and compassion.However, we can be swept away in...

Negative Effects of Power Over Parenting
Overcoming conflicted feelings about success Depending on what type of Power Dynamic we experienced growing up, certain consequences can arise. If we learned that it was ok to share around the power and control depending perhaps on who was best equipped in the moment to direct, then we might find ourselves very comfortable to move between moments of leading and following.However, if we experienced fixed positions relative to power and control where one person was always in the "superior position" regardless of competence, expertise or appropriateness then we can come away with mixed messages and...

Abuser Mindset and Entitlement
Understanding the role of entitlement in the abuser’s mindset Abusive behaviour and mindset in Intimate Relationships is highly complex and certainly not always well understood! The more insight and clarity we have the more effective our interventions can become. When it comes to romantic relationships, abuse dynamics stem from beliefs, attitudes and thinking patterns that are often underpinned with a sense of justification and entitlement: ‘If you don't submit to my power and control then I am entitled to utilise whatever tactics I deem necessary to make that happen.’‘No matter wh...

How exposure to abusive relationships impacts children’s present & future wellbeing It can unfortunately sometimes be easier to think that if something didn't happen, or isn't happening to my kids directly, they won't be that affected! Witnessing toxic, abusive exchanges between one's parents on a consistent basis can impact children not just at the felt level, but can influence attitudes and beliefs about what an intimate relationship consists of. I may come away thinking that because people love me they get to hurt me! When we see a romantic relationship that is heavily tipped in the...

The calm before the next storm can lull us into a false sense of hope that things may finally be getting better.Part of skilled abusers keeping us plugged in is the fostering of false hope and keeping us believing if we just try harder, just love them more, just give in to more of their demands it will all change.This...
