      <image:title>Blog - Why Do the Same Arguments Keep Happening in My Marriage? - It’s not the argument, it’s the pattern.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In Emotionally Focused Therapy, we look at arguments not as random fights but as emotional cycles. Each partner’s behavior sets off the other’s reaction. One person gets louder, hoping to be heard. The other pulls away, hoping to stay calm. But both are responding to fear — fear of being dismissed, fear of doing it wrong, fear of being too much, or not enough.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Even when you want to stay present, your body can shift into protection mode. Shutting down isn’t you “checking out”—it’s a part of you trying to prevent overwhelm. When you understand what’s happening inside, you can respond with more clarity, intention, and connection.</image:caption>
