Exploring relationship dynamics allows couples to identify tendencies each partner displays within their relationship across the four interrelated areas of Assertiveness, Self-Confidence, Avoidance and Partner Dominance.
This series of blog posts will discuss each area and the techniques used to explore these concepts.
The negative cycle: Avoidance and Partner Dominance
Avoidance and Partner Dominance relate to each other in a negative cycle. The more avoidance a person introduces into the relationship, the more they allow space for their partner to dominate, which perpetuates the avoidance, and so on.
When one person perceives their partner as dominating, a common reaction is for that person to avoid dealing with issues. As a person uses more avoidance, they will often perceive more dominance in their partner.
Thus a negative cycle is occurring.
Do you need help with an issue or problem? Our approach helps to generate deep and productive conversations that couples would not otherwise have about their relationship. These conversations can restore insight and understanding about one another.
