"US" after baby: How to protect the bond after everything changes with Cornelia Dahinten

Conscious Connections Consultancy

Cornelia Dahinten

When a baby arrives, everything shifts - your routine, your sleep, and often without realising it, the dynamic between you and your partner. Suddenly, you aren't just a couple; you are co-parents, logistics managers, and night-shift partners. In the middle of the chaos, it is easy for the relationship to slip into the background.

In this masterclass, Cornelia Dahinten, couples therapist and founder of Conscious Connections Consultancy, explores how to navigate these profound relationship shifts.

She shares practical tools to help you move from survival mode into a season of deeper connection and understanding.

In this video, you’ll learn:
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 The Root of the Family Tree: Why focusing on the couple's foundation makes the whole family feel steadier.
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Managing the "Survival Brain": How to regulate your nervous system to get out of fight, flight, or freeze modes during conflict.
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 The Power of the Pause: How a 30-second moment of self-regulation can stop reactive arguments before they start.
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Micro-Moments of Connection: Why small gestures, like a six-second hug or a cup of tea, matter more than big dates.
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Curiosity Over Assumptions: How to stop mind-reading and start asking the right questions.
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Invisible Labor: Dividing household and parenting roles in a way that creates intimacy rather than resentment.

Key Moments & Questions for You:
Cornelia invites you to grab a pen and paper to answer these four vital questions to jumpstart your connection today:
1. What is one thing I want my partner to know about how I feel right now?
2. What is one thing I would like to understand about my partner?
3. What is one conversation I have been avoiding?
4. What is one active habit I would like my partner to start to help us feel closer?
