The “Trying but Struggling” Couple

You See the Potential, But You Keep Butting Heads

You and your partner may have something real—there’s passion and a sense that you could be amazing together. Maybe you’re new to each other, or new to serious relationships.  And it’s challenging, some might even say toxic. A drama machine. No matter how hard you try, you keep falling into the same fights, frustrations, and emotional wounds. It’s exhausting but you’re still here.

Why You’re Still Together:

• You believe in your potential as a couple.
• You have deep respect, attraction, or admiration for each other—even when you’re frustrated.
• You want to grow together, but it’s a constant struggle.

What You’re Struggling With:

• Frequent conflict and misunderstanding.
• Different emotional needs, attachment styles, or communication styles.
• Feeling like you’re stuck in cycles of hurt and repair.

How Coaching Can Help:

• Help you understand and meet each other’s needs. You’re both trying, and it’s hard. Wouldn’t it be nice if things felt easy? If you could relax, be yourself and exist in harmony?
• Teach you conflict resolution skills so you don’t keep repeating the same fights. Receive caring guidance and tools that work every time to minimize drama and reach resolution so you can get on with enjoying your relationship. 
• Show you how to turn struggle into growth and transformation. You both want this to work. Growth is possible and coaching can make the process smooth and productive. 
• Break toxic patterns and improve communication – Sometimes it’s hard to see things clearly for yourself. Your beliefs are entrenched, and often it feels like you’re right and your partner’s wrong. You can’t see your blindspots, but they’re there. Caring, non judgemental guidance can help you see things clearly, adopt tools that empower you both, and improve your communication.
