Some good notes from our family therapist. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Czxrfn62p/
Phrases like 'I'm done', 'I had enough', 'You always/never' are relationship termination threats and absolute generalizations which dismantle couple safety-activating abandonment alerts, they fuel chronic disconnection and they erase partner's efforts.
They move away a conversation from addressing a specific discussion to threatening the stability of the bond itself. They replace a collaborative us vs. the problem into me vs. you.
