Understanding Negative Cycles in Relationships

Couples often find themselves trapped in negative emotional and sexual cycles that hinder effective communication. These cycles are characterized by defensive behaviors that prevent individuals from having their needs met, leading to feelings of insecurity and frustration. By recognizing and addressing these cycles, couples can learn to create positive emotional exchanges instead, thereby enhancing connection and intimacy. This transformation involves understanding one another's vulnerabilities and transitioning from a stance of protection to one of openness and support.
