You Are Not Alone
Real change begins with each of you. In our couples therapy sessions, I can help you both remember why you fell in love with the other. We can explore what it would be like for you each to be a giver in the relationship and what you each can do as individuals to make things better. I can help you remember all the sweet things you used to do for your partner and, in turn, how those gestures made him or her to want to please you back. Couples who independently focus on creating positive changes have a much greater chance of success.
Many couples simply don’t have the tools to communicate constructively about the issues in their relationship. In sessions, we can address reoccurring arguments and discuss solutions that can lead to tangible results. Rather than continuing to wish that you could change your partner back to the way he or she was, you can learn to focus on and appreciate the strengths that your partner demonstrates now. Instead of continuing to feel overwhelmed, frustrated or angry, you can develop effective communication tools and a greater ability to experience acceptance and compassion.
When your relationship is working, everything in life just seems better. Alternatively, when it’s not working, the tension can affect every area of your life. Recommitting yourself takes work, but loss of love doesn’t have to mean ending your relationship. You fell in love with your partner once and you can do it again! And guess what? Your relationship can be better than it ever was.
