This workshop is for couples who still care about each other but feel emotionally disconnected when stress or conflict shows up especially when one partner shuts down and the other feels left alone trying to hold the relationship together.

It’s for couples who say:

• “We stop talking when things get hard.”

• “One of us goes quiet and nothing gets resolved.”

• “We avoid conversations because they lead to shutdown or distance.”

You’re not constantly fighting you’re just not really connecting.

When tension shows up:

• One of you shuts down, withdraws, or goes numb

• The other feels dismissed, rejected, or forced to over-explain

• Conversations end without resolution, and the distance grows quietly

This workshop helps couples understand why emotional shutdown happens and gives them a way to stay connected without forcing communication or retreating into silence.
