Why We Feel What We Feel: Understanding Anxiety, Depression, and Relationships
A guide for you and your partner to understand anxiety and depression and navigate it together.
Anxiety and depression don’t just affect individuals—they shape relationships in powerful, often misunderstood ways. If you’ve ever wondered “Why do we keep having the same arguments?” or “Why does my partner shut down when things get hard?”, you’re not alone. Mental health struggles can quietly influence communication, intimacy, and emotional safety, even in strong, loving relationships. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, or supporting a partner who is, understanding what’s happening beneath the surface can be transformative. This free webinar, Why We Feel What We Feel: Understanding Anxiety, Depression, and Relationships, is designed for individuals and couples who want clarity, compassion, and practical tools—not blame or oversimplified advice.
Why Understanding Mental Health Changes Everything
When individuals and couples understand how anxiety and depression work, something important shifts: shame decreases and compassion increases.
- Understand the nervous system behind anxiety and depression
- Recognize common emotional and relational patterns
- Learn why reactions happen automatically (and how to slow them down)
- Improve communication without “fixing” or blaming
- Support yourself and your partner more effectively
This isn’t about diagnosing or labelling—it’s about insight, awareness, and choice.

FAQs
How does anxiety affect relationships?
Anxiety can increase reactivity, reassurance-seeking, overthinking, and conflict. Understanding these patterns helps couples respond with clarity rather than frustration.
Can depression impact intimacy and communication?
Yes. Depression often reduces energy, motivation, and emotional availability, which can be misinterpreted as lack of care.
Is this webinar helpful if only one partner attends?
Absolutely. Many individuals attend on their own and gain insight that improves their relationships immediately.
Is this therapy?
No. This is a psychoeducational webinar designed to provide understanding and tools—not therapy or diagnosis.
Who is the webinar best suited for?
Adults navigating anxiety, depression, mental health struggles, or relationship stress—whether single or partnered.
