Breaking the Cycle - Dr. Lena Feygin

Breaking the Reactive Cycle in Relationships

with Dr. Lena Feygin, Family Psychologist & Couples Therapist

Understand the cycle that keeps you apart—and learn how to break it together.

It's not you vs. your partner. It's both of you vs. the cycle.

What Triggers It?

A tone of voice. A look. A moment of silence. These small things trigger big emotions when our attachment needs aren’t met.

I’m not seen
I don’t matter
I’m failing you
You don’t love me

Two Paths: Protect or Connect

????️ Self-protective: Criticism, Contempt, Withdrawal
❤️ Relational coping: Vulnerable reaching, Curiosity, Repair

In Therapy with Dr. Feygin

We’ll map your unique conflict cycle, identify your emotional triggers, and learn how to shift from reacting to reconnecting—together.
