💬 Episode Notes:
The empowerment couples experience when they build safety, comfort, and apply learned therapy skills is remarkable.
Many couples enter transitions believing they should already “know how” to handle change, which often leads to frustration or defeat.
Misalignment during transitions is normal — it’s not failure, it’s feedback.
When struggles arise, slowing down and creating a shared game plan helps restore balance and connection.
Even positive life transitions can spark very different emotional responses for each partner.
Maintaining perspective through periods of change is one of the most powerful relational tools.
Trying to make old dynamics fit into a new phase of life often creates tension — evolution is necessary.
Under stress, people tend to operate in extremes — awareness of this pattern allows for better regulation.
Shifting from blame to ownership transforms conflict into collaboration during major life shifts.
Growth as a couple means embracing discomfort as a catalyst for deeper understanding and unity.
