Relationship and Marriage Counseling

One of the most difficult we do is make long-term relationships with another person, especially on that we choose. Couples, who seek treatment, often admit to finding themselves stuck or unsure, sharing less of themselves within the partnership and struggling to keep alive the memories that made them fall in love with one  another. One or both partners feels lost, confused, scared, hurt, angry, resentful and disappointed in the other as well as in themselves. Some couples struggle with self blame, guilt, loss of self-esteem and emotional rawness triggering issues of traumatic past events such as fear of abandonment or previous betrayals. Often couples experience concern around feeling confident that the relationship will survive.

We will work together to explore the dangerous side of expectations & explore not only the causes but also the core of disappointed expectations and “stories” that have led up to this negative dance.  Couples will learn how to communicate effectively moving towards giving & receiving the love, respect and nurturing they have been seeking.
