30. Creating space for your relationship in modern family life

The thing that we most yearn for is to feel connected and that we matter to each other. But why is then, that we often prioritise the laundry, packing the bag for the next day and emptying the dishwasher over spending time with our partner? And what is the cost of living this way? I asked someone who really knows about the importance of relationships. Catherine Topham Sly - BACP accredited couples relationship therapist and transformation coach is worth a follow on social media where she shares her wisdom in little nuggets that make you feel seen, heard and empowered to tackle the ups and downs of our relationship. We explored: how we can have relationship conversations without saying; "we need to talk" how we might be able to tell that we are feeling disconnected in our relationship and how this affects the whole familywhat we can do to create more connection and why our relationship dissatisfaction doesn't change by wanting our partner to do more. You can access Catherine's work here: https://insightconnection.uk/https://www.instagram.com/insightandconnection/And retrieve her free downloadable question prompts to boost connection: https://subscribepage.com/openendedquestionsTo get weekly tips and parenting inspiration sent straight to your inbox - head over to www.louise-brooks.com to sign up for my weekly newsletter You can follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parentingsuccesscoaching/And onFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/
