Attachment Styles and Adult Relationships Christy Findlay February 9, 2026 If you’ve ever wondered why relationships feel harder than they “should,” you’re not alone.Maybe you crave closeness but feel anxious when someone pulls away.Maybe you value independence, yet feel overwhelmed when a partner wants more connection.Or maybe you keep finding yourself in the same relationship...
Most couples don’t wake up one day and decide to stop communicating. More often, communication breaks down quietly—through stress, exhaustion, and too many conversations that feel tense, unproductive, or unsafe.
Feeling exhausted, unmotivated, or emotionally drained can be confusing. You might wonder whether you’re burned out, depressed, or just “going through a phase.” While burnout and depression can look similar on the surface, they’re not the same—and understanding the difference matters.
Many people start the year with good intentions—be happier, less anxious, more balanced. And yet, a few weeks in, those New Year’s resolutions quietly fade. This isn’t because you lack discipline or motivation. It’s because most goals aren’t built around how mental health actually works.
The start of a new year often brings a surge of motivation. Gyms fill up, planners sell out, and phrases like “new year, new me” flood social media. Yet by February, many people feel discouraged, overwhelmed, or disappointed that their goals haven’t stuck.
That image of a woman who flawlessly balances her career, family, and personal life? It’s not only exhausting—it’s damaging. The idea that we can “do it all” is a tricky one. We can accomplish many things—often more than we dream of—but can we do them all at once? Do we want to?
Something I’ve observed more than once when working with people who rely on their creativity for their careers, is that as we reach closer to the sources of their distress and find tools that help them to cope and reframe more effectively, they become concerned for a new reason.
Polyamory is the practice of being in multiple romantic relationships at the same time, with the knowledge and consent of all partners involved. It is a form of consensual non-monogamy, and it is becoming increasingly recognized and accepted in society.
