TheraPy with Darla D.
Therapy should be easily accessible for all humans, but sometimes it's not. That's why I created thi
Hey I’m Darla! I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist.
I started this page because I want to provide tools for others to use when encountering troubled water in relationship with other people, their partner, kids or themselves.
This is not a platform to create more clientele. It’s a way to encourage healthy conversation about real topics of relationship.
This year I’ll be posting more about different topics!

SO!
Romantic Phase is ROSE COLORED GLASSES because we see everything as beautiful and nice.
The power struggle phase was DARK COLORED GLASSES because we saw everything dark or UNCLEAR.
Stay tuned for the third phase!
POWER STRUGGLE PHASE/ 2nd Phase/ DARK COLORED GLASSES PHASE
What does this look like in relationship? How long is it supposed to last? What is going to make us get through it?

We go from the ROMANTIC PHASE -> to the POWER STRUGGLE PHASE.
Qualities about the Romantic Phase of Relationship.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRUTH AND A LIE!
This is a very important indicator for a healthy relationship. If we or our partner doesn't know the difference, how do we know what is the truth?
We talked about STAGES OF RELATIONSHIP in previous LIVE videos!
Here is a short clip talking about the ROMANTIC STAGE. What is it? Why are we in it? How long can we be in it?
What do you think?
I think REMORSE get's overlooked when thinking about a HEALTHY relationship.
Do you know what REMORSE is?

What topics are you interested in hearing about?
Join me Live to discuss the Stages of Long Term Relationships/Marriage!
When we have the right people to be there with us through our pain, grief, and process of change it can make all the difference.
CHANGE is like a RIVER.
We don't know how far the distance, how deep it can go.
Changing can be something to be feared. But having someone to go into the river with us... into the mess... will help in reaching the other side.
THE POWER OF HAVING A GOOD FRIEND and MAKING A CHANGE
Our topic on Change is not done yet. We talked about CHANGE and how PAIN is a good motivator for CHANGE. But still... HOW?
Having SOMEONE or SOMETHING that pours into our lives in those moments can be the GAME CHANGER for us.
SHARE with a friend if you can relate to this. 😊
YOU ARE NORMAL!
Sometimes we need to acknowledge that parents can struggle and have problems too. Are you angry as a parent? Where does that anger come from? Why do our children anger us so?
These are all important questions to ask if we want to continue to grow as people.
So, after we acknowledge the red flags in our relationships, we must ask the question "CAN I LIVE WITH THAT?"
Making our relationships healthier don't happen over night. We must ask the right questions to ourselves and others that continue our journey with our loved ones.
Often we look FOR different qualities in relationships. But do we look for RED FLAGS too?
In the previous video I talked about one question to ask yourself about your partner which was: What do they do with their pain?
In this video I will continue discussing more about what that question means and what some behaviors look like if they don't know how to take care of their pain in a healthy way.
If this video was helpful, let me know. OR how I can be of help in other ways.
Have you asked THIS question when dating your partner?
There are many decisions to consider when choosing your partner but I believe this is the MOST important question in doing so.
What does your partner DO with their pain?
Stay tuned for more on this subject.
So DO people Change?
