Sometimes
a couple hears an inner calling to strengthen the overall
quality of their relationship. Others choose couples
counseling when the stress between them becomes too
painful or the relationship appears threatened. Relationship
stress can build over time or may erupt suddenly following
a critical event such as loss of a job, a move, an
affair, or the birth of a child.
Symptoms
of a distressed relationship can be depression, emotional
distance, increasing arguments, decreasing affection,
a distressed sexual relationship, excessive and inappropriate
expression of anger, or difficulty with children or
other family members.
With
counseling, couples can:
• Learn to listen well
• Learn to share themselves honestly
• Learn to respond to each other with respect and empathy
• Increase intimacy
• Resolve underlying personal and relationship issues from the past
People
often attract the very partner that they need in order
to surface and heal these issues. Lasting change is
created when you have sufficiently resolved these underlying
personal issues and have learned how to relate to yourself
and each other with respect and compassion. In couples
counseling we support you actively during these sessions
with feedback,
suggestions
and encouragement.
Couples
who have worked with us say that when their couple
counseling is finished they feel more joyful, more
connected to each other, and that they have learned
effective skills to use throughout their lives.
