Summer distance: when holidays pull partners in opposite directions
At the end of June many couples discover that summer does not automatically bring them closer. One of you may be travelling with children, caring for relatives or working shifts, while the other tries to rest or catch up on personal plans. Online sessions allow you to reconnect even when you are not in the same city or routine. We talk about unspoken expectations around calls, messages and time together, which often cause more hurt than the distance itself. Together we explore what each of you fears losing during this season: stability, freedom, attention or a sense of importance. This makes it easier to negotiate realistic contact that feels supportive rather than controlling. We also look at how old stories about being left out or forgotten can quietly shape your reactions now. If you sense that holidays are pulling you further apart instead of giving you space to breathe together, registering for online couples therapy can help you stay emotionally connected on purpose.
