Little things, big reactions: understanding late‑autumn tension
By late October many couples feel that every small comment has the potential to start a fight. Fatigue, weather and invisible worries create a background of tension that neither of you fully names. In online couples therapy we slow down these moments to see what each of you is actually defending when you snap. We explore themes of respect, gratitude and feeling taken seriously that often hide underneath arguments about chores or tone of voice. Together we practise ways of giving feedback that do not immediately trigger shame or counterattack. We also talk about how to repair after a sharp exchange, instead of pretending nothing happened. When you understand the meaning behind your reactions, it becomes easier to choose different responses even on difficult days. If this autumn you both feel like you are walking on eggshells at home, registering for an online session can bring more clarity and softness into your evenings.
