Discover the secret to transforming your relationship from surviving to thriving as we, Michael and Amy, guide you through the groundbreaking work of John and Julie Gottman. With a couple's coach approach, we're bringing you a no-holds-barred conversation filled with insights into the four communication patterns that can spell doom for any partnership. Get ready to equip yourself with the tools to recognise and resolve these challenges, as we provide examples and strategies that will change your relationship game for good.

Ever found yourself wondering why small arguments escalate into full-blown conflicts? Chances are, you've encountered one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse in relationships—criticism, contempt, defensiveness, or stonewalling. We're taking a deep dive into the origins of these behaviors, unpacking how childhood experiences and everyday habits can lead to a breakdown in communication. But fear not, because we're all about solutions. We'll share the antidotes to these patterns, helping you to foster a nurturing and respectful dialogue with your partner.

The journey doesn't end with recognising these patterns—it's about overcoming them, particularly the most destructive of all: contempt. This episode isn't just an exploration, it's a roadmap to building a culture of appreciation within your partnership. We share heartfelt anecdotes and client successes that highlight the importance of mutual effort and admiration. So, join us for this transformative session and let's take that brave step together towards a more loving and resilient bond with your partner.
