An additional struggle is that when your partner needs soothing, you are unsure how to give it. You might want to provide soothing support but miss the mark.
This is common when you have not received it or feel it has been okay to accept.
Know that you can change these patterns in individual or couple therapy.
This is one of my specialisations.
If you want to work with me, reach out, and let’s connect.
And remember to be gentle with yourself.
Love, Jen
