For many people a loving connection with a partner or spouse is the cornerstone of a fulfilling life. We are wired for love from the moment of birth but, somehow, many of us find ourselves struggling with barren marriages, or living in a war zone of never ending conflict where neither partner feels seen or supported.
How do we get caught in these patterns that keep us trapped and unhappy? Is there a way to free ourselves from these struggles that never get us what we want?
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is a highly researched and effective technique for working with couples. We look under the surface of our repetitive and maladaptive relationship patterns. We come to understand how both partners are actually striving for a loving bond. Unfortunately, many of the ways we seek connection hurt the partnership rather than help it.
In Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy you will learn to express your feelings to your partner without sparking her or his anger and withdrawal. And if expressing your needs and being emotionally vulnerable is difficult, I will help create a nurturing environment where this may become possible for the first time.
It is painful to be in a marriage or partnership where we don’t feel loved. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy will give you the keys to unlocking the unhealthy patterns in your relationship and shifting them to mutually rewarding interactions that can be the bedrock of a happy life.
