Developing a “Same Team” Mentality
Last week I talked about the importance of creating balanced conversations in your relationship communication. If you’d like to read more about that, you can find the link to it here. Today, I’m going to spend some time talking about developing a “same team” mentality in your relationship. So often I find that couples can get to a point in a relationship where they start to feel so at odds with each other they forget they are actually in the relationship together as part of the same team.
What Does “Same Team” Mentality Mean?
“Same team” is a mindset that can be very helpful and effective in balancing, resetting, and maintaining a healthy relationship. As you go through life, your relationship is going to shift and change and grow and develop. It doesn’t stay the same from day to day, but by developing a “same team“ mentality, it’s a way to establish a mindset that as things shift and grow and develop, you always have the ability to reset and remember that you’re in this journey of life together.
So many couples come to see me for therapy and/or coaching and they have drifted so far apart that they have started to feel like enemies. In some cases, it’s difficult for them to even remember what brought them together in the first place.
In our work together, we start from the very beginning working to remember and rekindle those initial feelings, and then we take note of what shifts, changes, and obstacles have occurred since then. We break everything down into the various elements and allow each person a chance to heal and understand where the other one is coming from using the process of empathy and courageous conversations.
If you would like to read more about relationship empathy, you can check out my blog here which talks all about it. I also have a recent post that talks all about using courageous conversations in your relationship.
Do you feel resentful in your relationship? Do you feel like your needs aren't being met, that you aren't getting enough out of your partner, and your relationship is hitting rock bottom? You can get back to a healthy relationship by finding out what's really going on. Here's 7 questions to ask yourself to get to the root of the problem.
Questions to Ask Yourself to Determine if You’re Using a “Same Team” Mentality
Am I holding onto past pain points and then holding them against my partner?
Do I give my partner the benefit of the doubt, or do I always assume the worst intentions?
When we have a disagreement, do we approach things with healthy balanced communication, or does it seem like we’re just throwing words and venom at each other without really listening to what the other one is saying?
Do we have a base friendship that underlies the romantic element of our relationship?
Is there a lot of resentment present when I think about my partner and/or my relationship?
When I have good news and/or bad news, is my partner the person I want to share it with first?
Does my relationship feel like a “soft place to fall” when I’m having a struggle?
If you feel like you need help with a lot of these things, there is hope! During my relationship communication online workshop, there are multiple lessons devoted to this very topic. And I always have the option for you to reach out to me to schedule a one on one session if you feel like you need more direct assistance!

Relationship Communication Workshop Updates
I have created an online Relationship Communication Workshop to help you dig into the communication struggles in your relationship and start getting things back on track. During the past month, I have had a number of participants submit reviews and suggestions of different lessons that would be a great addition to the workshop. I want this to be as helpful as possible, so I have decided to listen to the feedback and expand the course to include even more relationship guidance.
I realize that not everyone wants to go through long-term therapy or the process of getting to a therapy appointment may not fit into your busy schedule. That's why I created this course. I wanted to provide you with a way to get access to the tools my clients get from me in my practice, but you can access the material from the comfort of your own home or wherever you are.
