Couples Therapy
Your relationship is deteriorating.
It feels impossible to break free from the negative feedback loop and the endless hypothetical ‘what-ifs’ constantly plaguing you.
A part of you knows that just trying to make it through each day as painlessly as possible is no way to live.
You can feel yourselves growing apart but don’t know how to stop.
Communication seems impossible.
Simple conversations about dinner, weekend plans, and sex (or lack thereof) turn into screaming matches.
It’s gotten to the point where you avoid talking to each other just to avoid another conflict.
And you never know what you’ll face when you walk through that door to your home.
It’s affecting your entire life.
Every relationship, from friends to family and coworkers, is becoming strained.
Concentrating on tasks at work has grown increasingly difficult.
You can’t sleep at night with your thoughts racing, and self-care has fallen by the wayside.
Things weren’t always this way.
It wasn’t that long ago that you were still in that “honeymoon phase.”
You and your partner shared laughter, lighthearted banter, and genuine affection for each other.
But these have been replaced by hurried goodbyes, perfunctory kisses, and fleeting smiles.
Couples therapy can help.
Together, let’s learn how to:
- Listen to your partner so he/she/they feel heard.
- Validate concerns and feelings.
- Communicate wants and needs clearly.
- De-escalate arguments and address and resolve conflict.
- Establish and maintain healthy boundaries.
- Problem-solve together.
- Be responsive, not reactive.
- Identify drifts and protective responses.
- Break old patterns of blame and avoidance.
- Make agreements and follow through with them.
- Identify and avoid power struggles.
- Deconstruct false narratives that impact emotional and physical intimacy.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
– Lao Tzu
