The Pursuer-Withdrawer Relationship Cycle Sue John The Pursuer-Withdrawer Relationship Cycle Sue Johnson is the founder of Emotionally Focused Therapy. According to EFT research, healthy couples take turns being a pursuer and withdrawer. In unhealthy relationships each person assumes a position from the start and stays in that role. PURSUER: Do you often find yourself constantly asking your partner to open up more? Do you frequently long for more of their attention? Are you the one always appologizing? Chances are, you are the pursuer. WITHDRAWER: Do you think what’s the point? Do you avoid arguments or sharing your thoughts? Do you say to your partner “no matter what I say/do is not good enough”? The chances are you are a withdrawer. What position do you adopt in a fight or argument with your spouse? Are you a pursuer? Or are you a withdrawer? . . . . . #marriagelife #marriageworks #marriageadvice #marriagerocks #couplesession #marriagecounseling #couplescounseling #onlinecounseling #psychotherapist #therapistsofinstagram #therapists #calabasas #thousandoakstherapist #couplestherapy #relationship #gottman #suejohnson #malibu #westlakevillage #thousandoaks #premarital #marriagetherapist #therapist #agoura #californiatherapist #agourahills #relationshipadvice #marriage #marriagecoach
Smile and the world smiles with you...” - Stanle Smile and the world smiles with you...” - Stanley Gordon West Did you know that a smile is socially contagious? Emotions, feelings, and attitudes spread to and affect others around you. Next time you decide to give into your grumpy feelings, reconsider and lead with a more positive yet authentic emotion. Infect your spouse with enthusiasm or curiosity and create a moment worth smiling about. . . . . . #marriagelife #marriageworks #marriageadvice #marriagerocks #couplesession #marriagecounseling #couplescounseling #onlinecounseling #psychotherapist #therapistsofinstagram #therapists #calabasas #thousandoakstherapist #couplestherapy ##StellaSpring21 #gottman #suejohnson #malibu #westlakevillage #thousandoaks #premarital #marriagetherapist #therapist #californiatherapist #smile #agourahills #relationshipadvice #marriage #marriagecoach
Couples are very resilient, the can survive a lot. Couples are very resilient, the can survive a lot. What makes couples strong is HOW they get past difficult situations. Every couples argues. Arguments are supposed to propel our relationship forward. Healthy couples take turns repairing after a fight and accept their partner’s attempts. . . . . . #marriagelife #marriageworks #marriageadvice #marriagerocks #couplesession #marriagecounseling #couplescounseling #onlinecounseling #psychotherapist #therapistsofinstagram #therapists #calabasas #thousandoakstherapist #couplestherapy #gottmaninstitute #gottman #suejohnson #malibu #westlakevillage #thousandoaks #premarital #marriagetherapist #therapist #agoura #californiatherapist #grateful #agourahills #relationshipadvice #marriage #marriagecoach
We have all done this: you are around a couple and We have all done this: you are around a couple and the spouse seems so perfect. They are dotting, polite, thoughtful etc of their wife/husband and we start to think “why can’t my partner be more like this?” Don’t get caught in the comparison trap, things aren’t always as picture perfect as they appear. Instead, take a close look at your relationship and more importantly at yourself. Are you showing up as the best version of yourself? Are you prioritizing your marriage? Are you being supportive of your loved one? . . . . . #marriagelife #marriageworks #marriageadvice #marriagerocks #couplesession #marriagecounseling #couplescounseling #onlinecounseling #psychotherapist #therapistsofinstagram #therapists #calabasas #thousandoakstherapist #couplestherapy #gottmaninstitute #gottman #suejohnson #malibu #westlakevillage #thousandoaks #premarital #marriagetherapist #therapist #agoura #californiatherapist #grateful #agourahills #relationshipadvice #marriage #marriagecoach
