the play within
Practicing the art of transforming conflict into connection.
Relationships take work — and that work can feel alive, nourishing, and deeply worth it. Together, we turn your challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.
You keep trying but it doesn't work
You care deeply and still, something feels stuck. Arguments repeat. You get triggered. You shut down or lash out. It’s frustrating, confusing, and often lonely. Most of us were never taught how to navigate these moments. We fall into patterns that don’t reflect our love — just our pain. But conflict doesn’t have to mean disconnection. With the right tools and support, it can become a path to deeper understanding, trust, and long-term resilience.
Change is possible...
Emotional safety
Real understanding and emotional safety instead of feeling triggered, alone, or misunderstood in conflict
Shared language
A shared language for needs, boundaries, and emotions instead of blame, assumptions, or shutting down
Resilient connection
A resilient, connected relationship that can hold challenges instead of walking on eggshells or fearing every rupture.
Growth happens where challenges meet care
Your relationship is a living ecosystem — it needs attention.
How the play within works
You want a relationship where conflict doesn’t scare you — where you feel safe to be honest, seen, and heard. A connection that’s strong enough to hold the hard moments and deepen your bond.
At the play within, we don’t do quick fixes or blame.
We help you listen to what’s really alive beneath the surface, your bodies, emotions, and needs, and turn challenges into real opportunities for growth and trust.
Together, we build a relationship that feels like home.
Transforming conflict into connection
This process helps you understand what’s really going on, connect with your needs, and create practical solutions — building stronger, more trusting relationships that last.


Tune-in
Notice and understand the emotions, feelings, reactions, and patterns that fuel conflict. Awareness is the foundation for change.
Name needs
Next, we identify the underlying emotional needs behind your conflicts. When needs are clear, compassion grows — for yourself and your relationships.
Create Support
Finally, you learn to communicate and build practical strategies together that honor everyone involved — creating a relationship that can hold challenges and deepen trust.

The way Linda is able to make us see each other, even when we find ourselves in complete survival mode is simply outstandiing. We would not want to live without her sessions anymore. She is saving our asses every week!
Matteo Tangi
I'm grateful to have received Linda's help. She supported us to slow down our communication and notice what was happening between the lines. She helped us to listen in a deeper way and to speak with more clarity and care. This made us feel more connected, less defensive, and more open to each other.
