Couples Therapy
Does any of this sound familiar?
“We don’t seem to connect anymore.”
“It didn’t used to be this hard.”
“I knew marriage would be difficult, but I never imagined it could be like this.”
“I love her, but I don’t really like her right now.”
“We used to be happy together.”
“It feels like we never have sex anymore.”
“Things aren’t bad… but they’re not great, either.”
“Things are just different since the affair.”
Each relationship has its own unique challenges.
Many things affect how much time and energy we are able to put into our relationships.
Demanding careers often lead to stress with little time for ourselves and those we love.
Health issues fill us with worries, and financial hardship can even change the roles we previously had in our relationships.
Having and caring for children is rewarding but also exhausting, often leaving little energy for our partners once the kids are in bed.
Aging parents need attention and assistance, from rides to appointments to full-time care. And when a loved one dies, we have to adjust to not having them in our lives.
Through all of these challenges, it can be difficult to maintain a healthy relationship with our partner.
What we need is a meaningful connection to our partner.
That’s what keeps us happy and fulfilled in our relationship.
The pain of sitting next to him but still feeling ignored is overwhelming. The loneliness is palpable.
Constant worries of “Where did we go wrong?” and “Where do we go from here?” take over. Attempts to discuss the feelings of confusion and isolation lead to accusations and disagreements.
Thoughts of giving up finding a solution and just accepting things as they are become more prevalent. Never did you think this person could be such a stranger while being just an arm’s length away.
When we don’t feel connected, understood, or heard, it can be difficult to know what to do to bring that spark back.
Together, we can bring back the spark in your relationship.
Together, we can build on what is working in your relationship and change what isn’t working. We will increase your understanding and empathy for each other while creating a deeper, more meaningful connection.
Sometimes we need help seeing what is good in our relationships.
Are you enjoying regular date nights? Showing appreciation through small gestures? Able to listen and offer emotional support to your partner?
Together, we will explore what is going well and how to focus and build on what you are already doing.
Learn and practice communication strategies in a calm and directed setting that improve understanding and decrease arguments.
It can be difficult to share things that may hurt your partner’s feelings. Discover ways to discuss what your concerns are for your relationship and create a plan to correct them.
Find a new appreciation for each other through homework and exercises geared at reconnecting and rekindling the spark you used to enjoy.
YOU CAN have a happier, healthier, more enriching relationship.
All is not lost. You have had that connection before… you can have it again. Isn’t it time to reconnect with your partner and stop the feelings of uncertainty, hurt, and confusion?
