LAYERED CAKE. Constructing a layered cake is comparable to the ingredients required for constructing a meaningful romantic relationship. First there is the foundation or base to our cake, which in relationship terms is establishing a genuine and reciprocal friendship. Then there is the frosting or glue that is used to connect the cake layers together; this is more or less the similarities in one another’s values and ideals that creates a meaningful bond guiding your decisions as a couple. As each layer of cake is added, there is added complexity and vulnerability, but if your foundation is solid and your values align, you can continue to build higher together.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Homework: Make sure your romantic relationship is created from friendship, aligned values and vulnerability.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #sundaysweets #couples #relationships #romanticrelationships #meaningfulrelationships #layeredcake #cake #frosting #fondant #buildlayers #buildhigher #foundation #securebase #friendship #values #ideals #vulnerability #complexity #buildtogether #connect #jackinthebeanstalk #goldeneggs #cakedecorating #birthdaycake #cakedesign #cakeart #cakesofinstagram #bekind #bewell #eatcake https://www.instagram.com/p/CZXsRbjJHjW/?utm_medium=tumblr

FLOODING. When in a romantic relationship, there will be times when you feel as though a raging river is running right through the middle of your relationship. In the moment it seems as though the divide is too great and there is no chance of repair; things just escalate.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This is what is called “flooding”; anything over 100 bpm = flooded and nothing constructive will come of the argument once you or your partner reach this threshold. Instead as a couple, you need an adult timeout, that means at least a 20-minute break until you regulate to 100 bpm or below. Then and only then should the discussion resume and repair ensue.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Remember a raging river eventually leads to a vast lake where calmer waters can allow you to regroup and close the divide.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Homework: Find out more about flooding based on the couples’ research of John Gottman’s here www.gottman.com/blog/manage-conflict-part-4/⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ #sundaysilence #therapist #couplestherapy #romanticrelationships #riverrunsthroughit #ragingriver #divided #conflict #flooding #gottmaninstitute #gottmantherapy #gottmanrelationshipblog #repair #timeout #taketwenty #calm #selfsoothe #100bpm #regroup #closethedivide #resolution #rivermeetslake #grandcanyonofyellowstone #wyoming #yellowstonenationalpark https://www.instagram.com/p/CVJPDt3JXZn/?utm_medium=tumblr
