What is a bid for connection?

Imagine you came home from work and began to tell your partner everything that happened to you today, and suddenly they let out an exasperated sigh. At that moment, you have a choice: keep going about your day or pause and ask about what’s on their mind.

These small, daily contacts may seem insignificant. But they are crucial for your relationship. If you ignore them, over time, your relationship will struggle. If you want to make your connection stronger, I invite you to accept this bid for connection by asking your partner questions, listening, or nodding.

If you feel that you and your partner are ready to benefit from couples therapy, schedule a free consultation with me so we can see if we'd be a great fit to work together.
