Dr Elena Sherwood
MSW, PhD
I’m Elena, your Relationship Coach and Author with a layered understanding of couple dynamics, and an exceptional way of getting down to the heart of the matter.
I guide women out of relationship survival mode—that place where you feel stuck in an unhappy marriage, walking on eggshells, or questioning your worth—and into the confidence to choose: rebuild the love you deserve or move toward freedom.
Have you had these thoughts?
“I can’t even tell what I feel anymore.”
“If I speak up, it’ll just start another argument—or worse, silence.”
“Maybe I’m the problem… I should be able to handle this.”
Stuck in Survival Mode? You’re Not Alone.
There’s a quiet place so many women end up in—where you’re still showing up, still getting through the day, but inside, you’re checked out. Numb. Foggy. Questioning everything and nothing at the same time.
That’s what I call relationship survival mode.
I’ve come to focus on this because it’s where so many of my clients live without realizing it. They’ve adjusted to walking on eggshells. Silenced their own needs. Told themselves this is just how it is.
But it’s not.
This isn’t your fault. And it isn’t your forever.
If something in you is whispering, “I can’t keep living like this,” you’re in the right place.
