Do you ever find yourself overreacting in the moment with your partner?

Maybe your partner has done something that really grinds your gears and your immediate reaction is to respond in pure anger.

The truth is, we can’t control how others act — only how we respond.

Do you struggle with setting healthy boundaries?

In this month’s Therapy Moment, Robyn Ashbaugh, LMFT shares with us a tip on how to create effective boundaries with those around you to help protect your peace!

When you lay your head down at night do you ever find yourself wondering what your purpose or meaning is in life?

Maybe your life path didn’t go as planned or you find yourself no longer passionate about the same things you once did when you were younger.

Finding purpose and meaning in life is not just about grand revelations or cosmic alignments. It’s about rolling up your sleeves, diving into what makes you tick and having a little fun along the way. 

Do you ever have a bad day and struggle with how to not let your mood effect everyone you come into contact with?

Let’s explore the complexities and discover ways to maintain that deep connection despite the challenges.

Do you go out of your way to help your partner feel thought of, loved and supported?

If not; you may not be putting in the time and effort to nurture your relationship.

In this month’s Therapy Moment, Robyn Ashbaugh, LMFT shares with us the importance of intentionality in your relationship!

Have you noticed a decrease in your sex life as you’ve gotten older? Maybe the intimacy with your partner has taken a backseat now that you’ve been together a long time or you just haven’t prioritized it like you once have.

Sex does not need to stop when you get older. Many people assume that it does, or that desire eventually fades, but that could not be further from the truth.

Have you found over time that your physical touch with your partner has started to decline? Maybe you've found yourself stuck in the role of mom/dad and you haven't prioritized your partner. Or maybe the daily grind has made it so you aren't investing time back into your relationship to create the need for physical touch with one another.

In this month's Therapy Moment, Robyn Ashbaugh, LMFT shares the "gears of touch" and how it can help improve your intimacy with your partner!

Do you ever notice your emotions get the best of you when confronted with conflict?

 It’s easy to get lost in your reaction or emotional response to things that sometimes it can be difficult to reflect on what’s truly happening in the present.

Mindfulness can be a useful way to reflect on the present moment.
