In this episode we’re talking about relationships.
Parenting can have a negative impact on our relationship at the best of times but parenting in a pandemic is likely putting our relationship under extreme pressure. In this episode I interview relationship therapist Ian Tomlinson. He helps couples transform their relationships so that each person can get their needs met and create healthy patterns of relating.
Thankfully there are strategies that we can call upon to make it through this difficult time with our relationships intact, and maybe even strengthened. During our conversation he shares some simple but powerful strategies to support our relationships during this pandemic and beyond.
While this episode was recorded during COVID-19 the insights can be applied at any time to strengthen our relationships
In this episode Ian shares:
- Why the traditional approach to couples therapy doesn’t always work and how his approach is different
- that when we become parents children fundamentally change our relationships and that 68% of all couples believe that children negatively impact their relationship.
- that it’s normal to hit difficulties in our relationship, that it’s actually supposed to happen and if we get stuck that’s just a sign that growth is trying to happen in our relationship
- that most couples wait for up to 6 years to get into couples therapy from the point that we actually need it
- four behaviours that can predict the end of a relationship and what we can do to prevent them
- simple but powerful strategies to feel more connected and happier in our relationship

Wonderful blog! Do you have any recommendations for
aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but
I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform
like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that
I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Thanks!
Hey! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are
you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with

I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a
good platform.

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Internet
explorer. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility
but I thought I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though!
Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Many thanks
Hi there this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if
blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually
code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but
have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
For newest information you have to pay a visit the
web and on world-wide-web I found this website as a best website
for newest updates.
Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some
advice from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog?
I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to start.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks
Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this
blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that
“perfect balance” between usability and visual appearance.
I must say that you’ve done a superb job with this.
Also, the blog loads very fast for me on Safari.
Outstanding Blog!
Hi there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any tips?
It’s hard to come by educated people for this topic, however, you sound like you know what you’re talking about!
Thanks
