Inside our “Heal Your Relationships” program, we promise to help you eliminate at least 2/3 of the recurrent, repetitive arguments in your marriage, in less than 90 days. So, what are those repetitive arguments?

There are 8 of them:

·     Sex

·     Money

·     Parenting

·     Chores

·     Affection/time spent together

·     Extended family

·     Past hurts

·     Trust

Every marriage has 2 to 3 of these that keep coming up over the years, slowly causing resentment and hopelessness. What most couples’ therapists miss though, is that the details of the argument itself does not matter.

What matters is something much deeper and poignant.

And if you get THIS right, only then will any communication tool work for you. Tune in this week to learn what it is.

A few months ago, I did an episode called “What’s Your F Type?” that you all LOVED.

We have been getting a lot of questions about those tools, so I’ve decided to do a LIVE training on them inside our free FB group next week (link below to join). Here is an encore, so you can come prepared with your own questions for our live session! Enjoy and see you soon!

----------------------------------------------------

How do you react when someone cuts you up in traffic?

It’s annoying, right?!

What about when someone ignores you or roll their eyes at something you said?

How do you respond when somebody hurts your feelings or rejects your ideas?

The way you respond when you get poked or triggered is called your “F” type.

And knowing your “F” type is a kind of awareness that can be life-changing.

In this episode, I’m diving deeper into what triggers are, why they elicit a reaction from you, and the four types of reactions you can have to a trigger so you can learn how to deal with them more effectively.

When you discover which “F” type you fall into most commonly, you can start shifting the way you show up in the world.

As I said, it’s life-changing.

So listen closely, take notes, and bring your questions to our LIVE training inside our free FB group next week!

Stonewalling can wreak havoc on a relationship. I have been on both ends of this, and know how hopeless it can feel. I want you to know there are simple steps you can take, whether you are the one stonewalling, or on the receiving end, that can begin to shift things.

In today’s episode, I will go over:

• What stonewalling is and why it happens. 
• The two types of stonewalling, and
• 3 Tips for solving this dynamic, even if you or your partner have been stuck in it for years. 

Come and join the conversation on this topic in our free FB Group (in depth trainings and live Q&A’s every Thursday) —> Heal Your Relationships

Are you a Hailstorm or a Turtle?

Hailstorm = one who brings up complaints; Turtle = the one who shuts down/gets defensive and/or walks on eggshells.

To the turtle, the hailstorm seems like someone who is needy, clingy, demanding, and critical. --> "I can never satisfy her, so why try?"

To the hailstorm, the turtle seems like he/she doesn't care, is defensive, is not a team player, and maybe even selfish. --> "I'm on my own."

When we don't understand what is happening in someone's inner world, we jump to making character judgments of them.

"She is too needy."

"He is selfish."

But that's a misunderstanding at best, and a hurtful belief at worst.

On today's episode, I will be revealing what is *actually* going on underneath for each of these attachment styles.

Including, their core fears, behaviors, needs, and desires...

--> so YOU can stop going in circles, and start connecting in a deep and fulfilling way with the people in your life.

This will change the way you operate in the world.

Next week, I will be doing a DEEP DIVE into this topic with examples, as well as answering your questions, in our free FB group 'Heal Your Relationships.'

Raise your hand if you sometimes want your spouse to stop giving you solutions and instead just listen?! 🤚

Ugh, so frustrating, right? 

Why does this happen? 

Because most of us are not taught about the 3 layers of Emotional Intimacy. We operate only on the INFORMATIONAL level - which is useful, but if that's your only level of relating to others, you end up feeling lonely and insecure. 

On this week's podcast, I share the 3 levels of emotional intimacy, and how to get to the deeper levels without compromising who you are. This will change the way you love, work, and parent. 

Enjoy!

Emotional sobriety, a phrase frequently used in AA meetings, holds a special place in my heart. 

It's not just a phrase; it's a state of being – a state where clarity reigns, where nothing muddles your thoughts or numbs your senses.

In this state of clarity, you're fully present, unburdened by the weight of your fears or any substances that might dim your light. It's in this space that your relationships can truly flourish.

Whether wrestling with substance abuse or not, having an insecure emotional attachment style can be similar to an addiction. When triggered, your brain goes into a fog, much like when substances take hold.

In those triggered moments, one force in your subconscious steps into the limelight while the other is pushed into the shadows.

To fully express your unique, authentic self, you need both forces in harmony. 

And that's precisely what this episode is about – finding that balance so you can journey towards emotional sobriety and enjoy the full potential of your relationships.

What I mention in this episode:

• Why I like the phrase emotional sobriety
• The two forces present in our subconscious to become a balanced person
• The shadow side of the inner child and the inner parent

What you'll learn from it:

• Which internal force is more prevalent depending on your attachment style
• How to start dealing with these internal forces when triggered
• A proposal that can help you start changing your reactions

PS- In our program, Heal Your Relationships, we first go deep into your attachment style to discover what your deep wounds are and how to dissolve them. 

You’ll stop walking around like a raw nerve. You’ll stop being triggered.

Understanding your attachment style is like turning on the light in a dark room. It gives you the kind of clarity that also brings relief because you grasp your behaviors and your partner's behaviors more deeply.

Going through life in the dark about your attachment style is like taking a road trip with no GPS, no roadmap, and no clue about your destination. 

Trust me, I've spent three decades on that chaotic journey, replaying the same old mistakes repeatedly.

Attachment styles can broadly be categorized into two buckets: secure and insecure.

Now, if you fall into the secure attachment group, it's like winning the emotional mastery lottery. 

But here's the twist - even if you find yourself in the insecure attachment camp, there's no need to fret.

What I mention in this episode:

• Analyzing your attachment style to heal your relationships
• Behaviors determined by your attachment style
• How I switch from being fearful avoidant to having a secure attachment

What you'll learn from it:

• How to discover your type of attachment
• The characteristics of secure attachment
• The four components to move toward secure attachment
• Top fears for every insecure attachment style

With love, Kavetha

PS- If you take the quiz and discover that you have an insecure attachment style, the good news is that you don’t have to stay there forever. 

You can change (I have changed myself!), and my program is a good stepping stone.

I've been down that road before, dragging my ex-partners into couples therapy, hoping it would work like a magic fix. 

But honestly, it often felt like taking two steps forward and then three steps back. It was like slapping a band-aid on a deep wound.

Sure, the couples therapy sessions were helpful while we were in them. We'd talk, share, and sometimes even find moments of clarity.

Then, we'd return home, and like clockwork, we'd slip back into the same old cycles. The same arguments, just now, with an extra layer of resentment about therapy being yet another chore.

It's a paradox, isn't it? The number of couples therapists in the US keeps climbing, yet the divorce rate remains stubbornly high. Something just doesn't add up.

That's why we've crafted something different, something that breaks free from the traditional mold of couples therapy. It's a program that's not only unique but significantly more effective.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain to reveal why and how this unconventional approach is changing the game when it comes to healing relationships. 

What I mention in this episode:

• Why has the name of the podcast changed?
• My personal experience with couples therapy
• Characteristics of our unique approach to healing relationships

What you'll learn from it:

• The problem with traditional couples therapy
• The reason why communication is not the problem in your relationship
• The actual issues you may experience in your social connections
• The difference between avoidant people and anxiously attached people

xo, Kavetha

Unconditional love is only possible if you give your loved one unconditional freedom to be exactly who they are. 

If you constantly judge yourself, criticize how you act, and only see your limitations, then you're shooting yourself. 

And how you treat yourself often spills over into your interactions with the world. You may judge how others should act, what's right or wrong, and what they should or shouldn't be doing.

Judgment is a futile exercise. It's a quiet form of violence, a way we harm ourselves and others. 

But here's the truth: people will always march to their own beat, with or without our permission.

Embracing this reality and gifting others the boundless freedom to be exactly who they are is the alchemy of unconditional love.

No doubt, it's easier said than done. But here's the beauty of it – we're in this together. 

As we navigate the journey of releasing judgments and embracing the liberating power of unconditional love, the world transforms, one loving step at a time.

What I mention in this episode:

• The importance of unconditional freedom 
• People will react how they want to react (and not how you expect them to react)
• An experience with my spouse that made me realize the power of unconditional freedom  

What you'll learn from it:

• How unconditional love can show up in your life
• What you need to identify to develop unconditional freedom for your loved ones 
• The reason why judgment and unconditional love can’t exist together
• Questions you can ask yourself to reflect on this topic

Remember, it's all about letting go of judgment and giving each other the freedom to be ourselves.

Wishing you all the unconditional love and freedom, Kavetha

Certain beliefs in relationships are like undercover agents, quietly wreaking havoc beneath the surface. They slip in, often unnoticed, yet their impact can be profound.

Have you ever noticed how convincing yourself about what your partner is thinking can be astonishingly deceptive? It's one of those sneaky things we do. 

The romanticization of relationships we're bombarded with through the media has convinced 

ourselves that mind-reading is not only desirable but possible.

But mind-reading isn't an option. It's more like a setup for disappointment and resentment. The mental gymnastics we perform to decipher the other person's thoughts is where the trouble brews.

It's not just about us, though. The narratives we weave around ourselves and our partners are equally potent. These thoughts can be a powerful catalyst for growth or a silent cause of suffering. 

So today, I'm shining a spotlight on three sneaky beliefs that quietly corrode relationships. And we're not stopping at just identifying them. We're exploring how to defy their corrosive impact.

What I mention in this episode:

• Why do relationships take place in our heads
• Why it’s impossible to read the other person’s mind
• Why do you create a bar of expectations that may hurt you  

What you'll learn from it:

• It’s normal to have mixed and complicated feelings about the people you love  
• How to choose thoughts that create less suffering for you 
• How to respond to a situation depending on the stories you made in your head  
• Exercises to start grasping these concepts

Ready to expose these beliefs? Join me as we unravel their grip and arm ourselves with tools to nurture healthier, happier relationships.

With love, Kavetha
