156 episodes - English - Latest episode: 5 days ago - ★★★★★ - 18 ratings

Does it feel like your family is falling apart and you're powerless to do anything about it?

Are you trying to get someone in your family to do better/be better/act better so that you can feel better?

Do you feel disconnected from your spouse and find yourself caught up in repeating the same unhealthy relationship scenarios over and over again?

Is your relationship with your adult children struggling? Are they mad at you? Setting boundaries? Telling you they want you to be different?

If you're feeling frustrated, confused, sad, and powerless in your family relationships, this is your podcast. 

I'm Tina Gosney, a Certified, Trauma-informed, Master Relationship Coach. I've worked with hundred of clients just like you, who are struggling and don't know where to turn. 

I understand you, because I was you. I was stuck right where you are - trying to get everyone else and everything else around me to change so that I could feel better. I felt completely powerless and hopeless in my own life.

Coaching was the vehicle that changed it all for me, and I know it can help you too. 

Your life and family don't have to be this way. You are not powerless and there is hope. And there's work for you to do. 

That's what we'll be doing in this podcast - getting down to the work of helping you to find hope and discover the agency in your own life.

The greatest gift you can give your family is to offer them a person who is at peace with themselves. Let's start creating that peace.

Defensiveness - Losing Strategy #7

March 18, 2024 06:00 - 18 minutes - 12.7 MB

Episode 132 – Defensiveness The seventh Losing Strategy is being defensive. When we get defensive, we are going to war with the other person. We put on our armor and we gather our weapons. Defensiveness comes from our inability or our refusal to take a look at ourselves and self-confront. It is also one of the 4 horsemen the Gottman’s have identified as red flags in a relationship.   If you want to begin learning some winning relationship strategies, register for my upcoming class: Healt...

March 15, 2024 06:00 - 18 minutes - 12.8 MB

Episode 131 – Resentful or Costly Accommodation The sixth Losing Strategy is Resentful or Costly Accommodation. This happens when we collapse who we are into what we think other people want us to be.

Resentment can easily set in when we give us so much of ourselves and deny our own needs.    If you want to begin learning some winning relationship strategies, register for my upcoming class: Hea...

Episode 130 - Withdrawing from a Relationship The fifth Losing Relationship Strategy in this series is – Withdrawal. When we withdraw from a relationship, we are disinvesting in it.

March 05, 2024 17:00 - 19 minutes - 13.7 MB

Episode 129 - Punishment and Retaliation – Losing Strategy #4 The fourth losing relationship strategy is Punishment and retaliation. This can show up in covert and overt ways, but at its core, we turn ourselves into a victim of the other person and we are then feeling justified in withholding approval and affection, or even punishing in a physically harmful way.  We are designed for human connection, and we are designed to want our independence and agency. The problem is we don’t know how ...

Needing to Be Right - Losing Strategy #1

February 13, 2024 07:00 - 26 minutes - 18.3 MB

126 - Needing to be Right Our brains have a natural need to be right, and that comes from the way we take in our experiences and make meaning of them. We each have a different way of taking in experiences and how we make meaning of them, and that works directly against forming strong relationship connections with others when we fight for our view of the world and refuse to see an alternative view.  Needing to be right and fighting for that right is one of the losing relationship strategies...
