COUPLES COUNSELING
-
Are you unhappy with your relationship?
-
Do you have the same fights over and over again?
-
Do your fights get nasty or hurtful?
-
Are you feeling less loved or secure than you want
to?
-
Have you experienced a betrayal of trust?
Relationships are difficult. Few of us are taught the
skills that will allow us to have a healthy long-term
relationship.
Couples counseling can:
-
Offer a safe place to discuss tense subjects
-
Interrupt negative and destructive patterns of
interaction
-
Provide more productive strategies and skills for
conflict resolution
-
Identify strengths and assets in your relationship
-
Increase trust and intimacy
-
Rekindle the passion and romance in your
relationship
Because couples entering counseling may have established
a pattern of accusation and blame, they are often afraid
that counseling will be more of the same. I believe that
blame is pointless and destructive, and that on most
issues, there is no “right” or “wrong”. The goal is to
understand each other’s perspective and to find a
“win-win” resolution of your differences.
