Couple Problems and Patterns, Heal the Connection: How to Fix What Keeps Going Wrong
Are you having couple problems? You're in good company! Every couple gets stuck in a pattern sometimes. It starts with simple problems—something small—like not talking, or a simple comment about the grocery bill—and suddenly you're caught in the same old cycle: one of you pursues, the other pulls away. Your couple problems have become a problematic pattern. But here's the good news: you can change the pattern. And it only takes one person to start.
In this episode, Dr. Debi shows you how to:
- Recognize the hidden cycle that’s keeping you stuck
- Respond instead of react—so you both feel heard
- Use a simple timeout strategy to reset the conversation
- Bring calm and connection back to your relationship
- And most importantly, work together to solve real problems with compassion

You don't have to stay stuck. One small shift can lead to big healing. 💛
