The Relationship Reset Self-Assessment

If your relationship feels heavy, this will help you name what is happening.

This is a quick self-assessment for high-functioning individuals and couples who look fine on the outside but feel emotionally disconnected at home. It is not a diagnosis. It is a way to get clear on patterns that keep repeating, including shutdown, resentment, betrayal fallout, and communication breakdown.

Answer honestly. You are not trying to prove anything. You are trying to see what is true.

If you check 3 or more, pay attention.

These are common signals that a relationship reset may be needed.

  • Do you feel emotionally disconnected from your partner, even when you are physically together?
  • Have you felt unseen, unheard, or emotionally dismissed in your relationship?
  • Are you carrying fear or resentment from past betrayal or broken trust, recent or old?
  • Do conversations often end in frustration, silence, or repetition?
  • Do you find yourself craving connection, but unsure how to rebuild it?
  • Have talking about it, therapy, or books felt helpful, but not transformative?
  • Do you sometimes wonder if your relationship is still workable, or if you are afraid to leave?
  • Are you willing to explore a reset, not just for your relationship, but for yourself?

What now?

If you checked 3 or more, you do not need a bigger argument with your partner. You need clarity and containment.

A Relationship Reset is structured relationship recovery support. It focuses on rebuilding trust when trust has been damaged, communication strategies that reduce harm and stop the same fights from repeating, decision clarity so you are not stuck in limbo, and a path forward after betrayal, emotional disconnection, or an intimacy drought.

This is not group advice. It is not a comment thread. It is a conversation built for the complexity you are carrying.

Ready for the next step?

If this assessment named what you have been feeling, here are two options.

Option 1: Ask Me Anything Session
One focused conversation to reduce the noise and identify next steps.

Option 2: The Relationship Reset Experience
Ongoing, structured support for individuals or couples who want lasting change, not temporary relief. It begins with a Foundation Session.

If you are in Westchester County, you can meet with me locally. If you are elsewhere, virtual sessions are available.
