Do you ever feel like you’re more of a parent or a child in your relationship than an equal partner? This dynamic is more common than you think—and it can quietly erode intimacy, trust, and connection. When one partner takes on the “parent” role—micromanaging, making decisions, carrying the emotional and mental load—they often feel drained, resentful, and unsupported. Meanwhile, the “child” partner feels inadequate, controlled, and fearful of disappointing their partner. Over time, these roles create distance, not connection. This dynamic isn’t random. It’s rooted in childhood. If you grew up with an overwhelmed or critical parent, you take on the parent role, managing everything, because it feels safer than letting go of control. Or you fall into the child role, seeking approval and reassurance, because it mirrors the dynamics you experienced growing up. It’s all about what you learned to believe about love and safety. And while those patterns might have protected you then, they can hold you back now. Ask yourself: Am I micromanaging or over-functioning to feel safe in this relationship? Do I avoid responsibility or shrink into silence because I fear rejection or criticism? How does this dynamic affect our ability to connect emotionally and physically? With the right tools, you can rebuild trust, foster intimacy, and create a relationship where both partners feel seen, supported, and equal. 💡 Here’s your chance to make the shift. 💡 Join my live virtual cohort starting January 10th, where we’ll dive into the origins of these patterns and, most importantly, how to break them.
