When the Holidays Bring Out the Worst in Us

Watch the Replay

If family stress, old reactions, or holiday expectations tend to create tension between you and your spouse, this masterclass will help you understand more of what may be happening underneath those moments and how to stay connected when stress rises.

Want Help Applying This to Your Marriage?

Understanding what happens between you is important.

But you may have watched the masterclass and found yourself thinking:

“I can see some of this in us. I’m just not sure what it looks like in our particular marriage or what we should do with it.”

That’s exactly why I created the Holiday Connection Plan.

The Holiday Connection Plan

A private session to help you understand what tends to pull the two of you apart during the holidays and create a plan for staying connected when stress rises.

Every couple brings different histories, personalities, family relationships, expectations, and emotional responses into the holiday season.

What activates you may barely register for your spouse.

What feels like withdrawal to one of you may feel like trying to keep things from getting worse to the other.

And what looks like a disagreement about family, schedules, or traditions may have something very different happening underneath it.

During your Holiday Connection Plan session, we’ll look specifically at the two of you.

Together, we’ll explore:

What tends to get stirred up for each of you

We’ll identify some of the situations, family dynamics, expectations, or interactions that are most likely to create tension.

How each of you tends to respond when stress rises

We’ll look at your individual emotional and attachment tendencies so you can better understand both your own reactions and your spouse’s.

What each of you needs in those moments

Sometimes couples care deeply about each other but completely miss what the other person is actually needing when emotions rise.

Where communication or family boundaries may need more intention

We can look at conversations, expectations, family relationships, or situations you already know may be challenging this season.

A simple plan for staying connected

You’ll leave with practical next steps tailored to your marriage so you can approach the holidays with greater understanding and a clearer sense of how to stay on the same side.

This Is Personal to Your Marriage

This isn’t another general marriage class.

We’ll use our time to look at your relationship, your holiday situations, and what happens between the two of you.

My goal is for you to leave understanding each other better and knowing what you can do differently when the pressure rises.

You Don’t Have to Wait for the Next Difficult Moment to Figure This Out

A little understanding ahead of time can change the way you enter a conversation, respond to a reaction, or support each other when family stress shows up.

If you’d like some help making what you learned in the masterclass personal to your marriage, I’d be glad to spend this time with you.
