Does it seem as if you and your partner argue and argue and never get anywhere? Maybe you start out trying to talk about one thing and end up fighting about another. There might even be things you need to talk about but end up ignoring all together because you don’t want to have another fight.
Do you have trouble working together to make important decisions, plan your future, or parent kids? It may seem like one or the other of you doesn’t have the time to talk about important issues, works too many hours, or is often too tired.
Have you followed all the advice you’ve been given for improving your communication and level of intimacy and still feel frustrated, misunderstood, angry or sad?
When you’re struggling with your relationship, it can be hard to find a way to do things differently. You may try this or that approach, but find that you still feel stuck in the same old story. It may feel like the problems are just too many or the resentments have grown out of control. You’re not alone.
Every week I meet with couples and, every week, I see them make radical changes in their lives. They heal their relationships with themselves and with each other. Step by step they develop the skills to communicate with compassion and respect. They rebuild trust and understanding and bring kindness and passion back into their lives.
If you’re wondering if couples counseling can help you, I invite you to make an appointment. Chances are that there are some changes that both of you could make that can help put your relationship back on track.
