Reactiveness or explosiveness can hurt and damage relationships.  It can destroy respect, trust and create trauma.  Instead of knee jerk reacting to a difficult situation or conflict, it is kinder and more respectful to 'PAUSE' giving you the opportunity to respond thoughtfully and calmly.  Suzi's approach will help introduce a NEW way of responding, and you will be able to use this powerful mindset for other situations.   By cultivating a 'responding' habit, you can develop better emotional regulation and communication. 

When faced with criticism or conflict, it's natural to become defensive.  However, practising less defensiveness can lead to more productive conversations, harmony and personal growth.  Instead of immediately getting defensive, Suzi will explore how you might approach the situation with an open mind and consider the other person's viewpoint.  This allows for a more constructive dialogue and an opportunity to learn from the situation.  Suzi teaches you how to discern from destructive and constructive criticism in order to maintain healthy boundaries.   

Active listening is an essential skill in resolving relationship difficulties.  By actively listening to your partner, you show them that you care about their thoughts and feelings. This can help build trust and improve communication, leading to a stronger relationship. Suzi can provide guidance on how to develop this skill and how to apply it in your daily life.

Letting go of negativity and and finding acceptance is a skill worth its weight in gold.  Instead of trying to change or control others, focus on accepting them as they are.  This doesn't mean condoning harmful behaviour, but acknowledging that everyone has their own perspectives and experiences.  Practising acceptance can lead to increased empathy, greater understanding and healthier relationships.

It is very natural to take our loved ones for granted. Over time, this can hurt a relationship.  By regularly expressing gratitude towards your partner, you can strengthen your bond and increase happiness in your relationship. Suzi may suggest exercises such as keeping a gratitude journal, making a special 'happiness jar', or expressing gratitude nightly or small gestures.

Suzi helps you to feel less anxious about what people think by removing past triggers that hurt you.   With a fresh mindset you can focus on what is most important to you. Remember you have the power to shape your own inner dialogue.
