Your Scores: High Positivity & High Negativity

This screener measures two core elements of your relationship quality:

Positivity – the degree to which your relationship feels supportive, affectionate, enjoyable, or emotionally connected

Negativity – the degree to which your relationship feels critical, distant, conflictual, or emotionally painful

Score Breakdown

0-2.99: Low levels of relationship positivity or negativity

3–5: High levels of relationship positivity or negativity

Your positivity score is {positive}, which falls into the high score range (3-5).

Your negativity score is {negative}, which falls into the high score range (3-5).

Your Score Suggests:

A relationship with high positivity and high negativity may feel emotionally intense, where deep love and care coexist with frequent misunderstandings or conflict.

Partners often experience a strong bond and shared affection, but may also feel stuck in patterns of reactivity, hurt feelings, or tension.

Emotional highs can feel meaningful and affirming, while the lows may leave both partners feeling overwhelmed or disconnected.

Despite the challenges, there may still be a deep investment in the relationship and a shared hope for greater stability, connection, and growth.

How Therapy Can Help

Couples therapy can be especially helpful for relationships that feel both deeply connected and intensely challenging. Here are some of the ways therapy can help:

Therapy can help couples understand and interrupt painful patterns, so they can experience the closeness they long for without being derailed by conflict or emotional overwhelm.

We support partners in building emotional regulation and repair skills, so they can move through difficult moments with more clarity, safety, and compassion.

Our therapists are neuro-informed, offering specialized support if autism, ADHD, or sensory sensitivities are contributing to relational stress.

Through therapy, couples can reconnect with their strengths, deepen emotional safety, and create a steadier, more sustainable connection—without losing the passion that brings them together.

Next Steps

If you’re experiencing patterns of both high positivity and high negativity in your relationship, our experts can help you navigate the intensity, strengthen your connection, and build more emotional balance together.

Your Scores: High Positivity & Low Negativity

This screener measures two core elements of your relationship quality:

Positivity – the degree to which your relationship feels supportive, affectionate, enjoyable, or emotionally connected

Negativity – the degree to which your relationship feels critical, distant, conflictual, or emotionally painful

Score Breakdown

0-2.99: Low levels of relationship positivity or negativity

3–5: High levels of relationship positivity or negativity

Your positivity score is {positive}, which falls into the high score range (3-5).

Your negativity score is {negative}, which falls into the low score range (0-2.99).

Your Score Suggests:

A relationship with high positivity and low negativity may often feel emotionally fulfilling, connected, and safe, with very little conflict or distress.

Partners frequently experience a sense of trust, appreciation, and warmth, and feel confident in their ability to communicate and support one another.

There is often a strong foundation of mutual respect, shared values, and emotional reliability.

While the relationship is going well, partners may still be curious about deepening their bond, enhancing intimacy, or proactively preparing for future challenges.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy can help couples nurture and protect the strengths already present, reinforcing the habits and values that contribute to long-term satisfaction.

We guide partners in exploring deeper layers of connection, including emotional intimacy, shared purpose, and relational growth.

Even strong relationships benefit from learning proactive tools for navigating future stress, life changes, or communication blocks.

Our therapists create space for couples to intentionally invest in their relationship, keeping it resilient, connected, and emotionally rich.

Next Steps

If you’re in a relationship with high positivity and low negativity, you’re likely in a strong and emotionally connected place. Our therapists can help you intentionally deepen that connection, explore areas for continued growth, and equip you with tools to keep your relationship thriving for years to come.

Your Scores: Low Positivity & High Negativity

This screener measures two core elements of your relationship quality:

Positivity – the degree to which your relationship feels supportive, affectionate, enjoyable, or emotionally connected

Negativity – the degree to which your relationship feels critical, distant, conflictual, or emotionally painful

Score Breakdown

0-2.99: Low levels of relationship positivity or negativity

3–5: High levels of relationship positivity or negativity

Your positivity score is {positive}, which falls into the low score range (0-2.99).

Your negativity score is {negative}, which falls into the high score range (3-5).

Your Score Suggests:

A relationship with low positivity and high negativity may often feel emotionally strained, disconnected, or painful, with few moments of warmth or closeness.

Conflict, criticism, or emotional withdrawal may be frequent, and partners may feel misunderstood, unappreciated, or emotionally unsafe.

There may be a sense of hopelessness, resentment, or emotional fatigue, where attempts to connect often lead to further tension.

One or both partners may feel stuck, isolated, or unsure if the relationship can be repaired—but still hold a desire for clarity or healing.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy offers a structured and supportive space to interrupt painful cycles, reduce conflict, and restore emotional safety.

We help partners explore the deeper needs, fears, and unmet emotions that often drive disconnection, so they can begin to rebuild trust and understanding.

When both partners are willing, therapy can guide the process of repairing the relationship or gaining clarity about next steps with compassion and care.

Our therapists are neuro-informed, and can provide specialized support when autism, ADHD, or sensory sensitivities are contributing to emotional reactivity or relational stress.

Next Steps

If you're experiencing a relationship marked by low positivity and high negativity, you're not alone—and support is available. Our therapists can help you understand the underlying dynamics, reduce emotional pain, and begin the process of healing or finding clarity. Reach out today to get started.

Your Scores: Low Positivity & Low Negativity

This screener measures two core elements of your relationship quality:

Positivity – the degree to which your relationship feels supportive, affectionate, enjoyable, or emotionally connected

Negativity – the degree to which your relationship feels critical, distant, conflictual, or emotionally painful

Score Breakdown

0-2.99: Low levels of relationship positivity or negativity

3–5: High levels of relationship positivity or negativity

Your positivity score is {positive}, which falls into the low score range (0-2.99).

Your negativity score is {negative}, which falls into the low score range (0-2.99).

Your Score Suggests:

A relationship with low positivity and low negativity may often feel emotionally neutral or disengaged, with little conflict but also limited closeness or connection.

Partners may function well logistically—managing home, parenting, or schedules—but feel more like roommates than romantic partners.

Emotional expression, affection, or shared joy may be minimal, and the relationship may feel flat, distant, or "fine but not fulfilling."

There may be a quiet sense of loneliness, boredom, or emotional detachment, even if overt conflict is rare or nonexistent.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy can help partners reignite emotional connection, rebuild intimacy, and rediscover the reasons they chose each other in the first place.

We support couples in learning how to communicate more vulnerably and meaningfully, creating opportunities for deeper emotional presence.

If emotional avoidance or long-standing disconnection has set in, therapy provides a safe space to gently explore unmet needs and reconnect with each other.

Our therapists can also help couples explore how neurodivergence or sensory/communication differences may be shaping the emotional landscape of the relationship.

Next Steps

If your relationship feels calm but emotionally distant, your scores may reflect a pattern of low positivity and low negativity. Our therapists can help you and your partner move beyond disconnection, deepen emotional intimacy, and create a relationship that feels more meaningful, vibrant, and aligned with your shared values.
