Therapy by Sarah

Transgender kids/teens and their families are my new focus...I've been in an advanced training program with Dr. Shawn Giammattei for the past year and I've broadened my approach to helping youth, adolescents and their families with gender affirming therapy.

Turning toward! 🎄❤️

Have you turned towards your partner’s bids for connection lately?

A bid is an invitation for closeness. Bids show up in simple ways, a smile or wink, and more complex ways, like a request for advice or help. A tendency to respond to your partner’s bids forms the basis of trust, emotional connection, and a satisfying s*x life. When you turn towards bids, the bidder hears:

I’m interested in you.
I hear you.
I understand you (or would like to).
I’m on your side.
I’d like to help you (whether I can or not).
I’d like to be with you (whether I can or not).
I accept you (even if I don’t accept all your behavior).

Turning towards starts with paying attention. Discover research-based tips for turning toward your partner's bids and sharing your own with help from Gottman Relationship Coach today: https://bit.ly/3ci5PUO
