You’re trying harder than ever.
You’re providing.
You’re fixing.
You’re doing “everything you can.”

Except the thing that matters most:
Being emotionally available.

You can't out-earn, out-gift, or out-hustle your way back into connection.
Because love doesn’t measure effort by output —
it measures it by presence.

💼 You’ve mastered doing.
But relationships aren’t about doing more.
They’re about being more.

Being more attuned.
More honest.
More available.
More emotionally here.

You’ve been trying to prove your love by working harder.
But what they really want…
is for you to stop working — and just be with them.

Here’s your reminder:
✅ Presence > Performance
✅ Intimacy > Hustle
✅ Connection > Control

📌 Save this if you feel like you’re “doing everything” and still losing connection.
💬 Share this with someone who needs to hear that doing more isn’t the answer.
🔁 Rewatch before your next “effort” — and focus on presence, not productivity.

Ever given so much in a relationship that you felt empty inside?

That feeling isn't just exhaustion - it's a warning sign of CODEPENDENCY.

Here's what's really happening:

You've learned to derive your worth from taking care of others. Your entire sense of value comes from what you DO for someone else.

Warning signs you're caught in this pattern:
• Your self-worth depends on helping others
• You can't say "no" even when overwhelmed
• You feel responsible for other people's emotions
• You neglect your own needs consistently

But here's the truth: You can CARE deeply without LOSING yourself.

Healthy relationships involve both giving AND receiving. Both people maintain their identity. Both take responsibility for their own emotions while supporting each other.

Want to break free from codependent patterns and build healthier relationships? Let's talk.

You thought it was just a disagreement.
A normal argument.
Nothing serious.
Just two people “expressing themselves,” right?

But here’s what really happened 👇

You weren’t solving the problem.
You were trying to win.

And the moment you did that —
you stopped being a partner…
and started being an opponent.

⚖️ You brought courtroom energy into your living room.
⚖️ You wanted to prove your point.
⚖️ You needed to be right.

But here’s the truth no one tells attorneys:

Being right won’t save your relationship.
Being safe will.

Because when your partner feels like they’re on trial,
love starts to retreat.
Walls go up.
And even when you “win”…
you lose connection.

Let that sink in.

❌ You don’t need better arguments.
✅ You need better connection.
✅ A mindset shift — from “me vs. you” to “us vs. the problem.”
✅ The courage to listen to understand, not listen to defend.

That’s how relationships grow.

Not through logic.
Not through flawless delivery.
But through emotional safety.

📌 Save this if conflict keeps pushing you apart.
💬 Share this with someone who always needs the last word.
🔁 Rewatch this before your next fight — and show up as a partner, not a prosecutor.

What Is Attachment Theory For?

Attachment theory is extremely popular in the relationship space online and for good reason. It can explain the root cause of many of the most significant relationship challenges.

And yet…

There is a lot of confusion about what attachment theory is for and what’s it’s not for.

Here’s what I use attachment theory for:
- To understand myself and my subconscious motivations
- To understand my partner and why they act the way they act (without judging them)
- To learn how to better create emotional safety for people with different triggers
- To understand the nervous system and different nervous system responses
- To have compassion for people who are different from me
- To know when to give second chances and when to impose boundaries

Here’s what I don’t use attachment theory for:
- To villainize people who have a different attachment style
- To make blanket statements about everyone with a given attachment style
- To try to predict what someone is going to do in the future – e.g., my ex is ghosting me, will they call me in 6 months? (If you’re doing this, you’re trying to find safety. It’s valid to seek safety, but find safety in self-confidence, not fortune telling.)
- To manipulate someone based on their attachment style – e.g., how do I get my avoidant ex to become obsessed with me?

What do you think attachment theory is good for?

Where do you think people misuse attachment theory?

[$7 to Change Your Life*]

The hardest part will be getting you to believe that you can change your life for $7.

But it’s worth taking a chance because your relationships matter so much to you.

It’s who you are.

You love connecting. You love loving. Your heart wants the best, deepest, most meaningful connections you can have.

So, it’s worth checking out a community to cultivate what you value and love.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

The Thriving Relationships Self-Awareness Circle is for evolving men and women who want to create thriving relationships in their lives and the lives of others.

It’s for lovers who want to explore the bounds and mastery of:

- Emotional maturity and conscious intimacy
- Ethical seduction
- Conscious communication
- Conflict resolution and repair
- Cultivation of compassion and empathy
- Self-respect and boundaries (with adults and children)
- Creation of authentic connection with others
- Healing past wounds and building secure loving intimate relationships

WHO IS IT NOT FOR?

This community is for people who are kind and encouraging. We will not support blaming and villainizing others. We will not support victimhood mentality. This group is for people who take radical personal responsibility for their lives and relationships.

(The membership fee is the easiest way to keep the whiners and complainers out.)

WHAT RESULTS CAN YOU EXPECT?

If you’re stuck in pain, disconnection, and conflict with your partner, we can help you understand what’s going on and how to make the necessary shifts so that you can reconnect and possibly establish a stronger connection than ever before.

If you’ve had a pattern of painful relationships, we can help you break the cycle.

If you’re single and you’re lonely, disappointed or frustrated with single life and dating, we can support you with encouragement and friendship and the cultivation of the skills you need to build the kind of successful relationship you desire.

If you just want support from smart, thoughtful people to navigate relationship challenges, here you have it.

People regularly tell me that they received life-changing support from my free groups. This paid group offers exponentially more.

WHAT WILL YOU GET?

As a member of the Thriving Relationships Self-Awareness Circle, you will receive:
1. Membership in an exclusive community of evolving men and women who are cultivating thriving relationships
2. Exclusive live group coaching opportunities (no additional cost)
3. Life-changing personal and spiritual growth and evolution

You will also get access to me (Daniel Robertson) and the opportunity to pick my brain about navigating relationship disconnects and conflicts. Where else can you get access to an experienced Relationship Coach with a master’s degree and experience as a professor of conflict resolution to pick their brain about navigating conflict and cultivating connection?

*The $7 price of admission is only available for the first 20 people to join. Join now to lock in this price for life. This is a no-brainer. The price will go up from here. Don’t wait.

This is hosted on Mighty Networks. Link to join --> https://thriv-relationships-self-awareness-cir.mn.co/share/EzpZX60iFv1mQ-l-?utm_source=manual
