Description
Whether you are in a painful relationship, have had a string of painful relationships, or just feel like love is the one thing that eludes you, you’re not alone. Wondering what went wrong, what words might have changed things, is something almost everyone faces at some point. Especially for neurodivergent relationships that are often less validated by those around us as being more intense or more confusing. Sometimes it’s easy to recognize when a relationship needed to end. Others, we can spend years trying to find the patterns eroding our happiness. Our Relationship Triage Workbook helps you ask the questions that bring them to light.
Where do you begin?
It can be hard to know whether it’s our current partner, a past one, or something even older. The ways we love and want to be loved are often shaped long before we go on our first date. Maybe we were taught unrealistic relationship models. Maybe the people around us never had a good relationship themselves and undermined ours. Every influence causes us to try endless filters to try making sense of our pain. Because, all too often, we are taught that pain that has meaning is bearable. Even noble.
Our Relationship Triage Workbook cuts through the endless questions spiral to get at the core information you need to decide what needs to be addressed and whether you want to do it. This is not about attachment styles or love languages. Those elements can come later. This is about clarity. About ending 2AM doom scrolls trying to heal a pain you have no words for. You know where you want to go: a happier relationship. This book is about deciding in which direction the first step lies.
What’s different in our Relationship Triage Workbook?
The Relationship Triage Workbook progresses through three elements common in every relationship, whether neurotypical or neurodivergent.
You begin with yourself. You will come to know what you want to change, what is realistically changeable, what you can accept, and what needs more examination.
Next, you will consider your partner. You will look at what you truly admire, what is concerning to you, and most importantly, if any of those concerns were present in former relationships. Old patterns have a tendency to keep playing themselves out in new scenarios. Recognizing them helps you target your response.
What comes next?
Finally, you will consider whether your partner will be receptive to your concerns, exploring how and when to talk as well as working to find the words you’ve been wanting to say. Importantly, this includes how to process the outcome, even if it isn’t what you had expected or hoped for.
If you find you would like more support after working through this process, our coaching services are available to help you take the next step.
