Couples Therapy
The Ecstasy… and the Agony
Relationships. When it’s going right, there’s almost nothing in the world like it.
But if something’s off – it can be an arduous, agonizing, maddening struggle.
The isolation … The alienation … The disconnection
Being half a couple can ironically be the loneliest experience you’ll ever endure.
Tiny irritations turn into pet peeves. Miscommunication and assumptions only make things worse.
After a while, it feels like all you do is argue – or avoid each other all together, each of you silently retreating to your own separate worlds.
Society has shown us its romanticized versions of love, but not what it looks like when real life gets complicated.
Unsure where to begin. Too tired to try.
When you add work, finances, family, and friends into the mix – it’s all too exhausting, too overwhelming to sort out.
And those old sparks, those moments of connection? Fewer and fewer these days.
Lately, when they do inspire you to try, you inevitably circle right back to the same argument. AGAIN.
You miss liking each other – laughing together – genuinely enjoying each other’s company.
If only you could find your way back to each other.
Here’s a secret: you can! Let’s look at how we can redirect you two into a partnership once more.
We’ll carefully trace your journey up to this point.
We’ll explore strategies to help you understand one another more fully.
We’ll learn how to use caring and forgiveness, rather than remaining bound by gnawing resentment.
Imagine – feeling like you two are on THE SAME team.
Rather than fighting each other, like it’s just the two of you against any obstacles.
Rather than tearing each other down, like you’re each other’s biggest cheerleaders, most steadfast protectors.
Rather than feeling you have no sounding board, like you can trust the relationship – and each other – as a sanctuary and fortress.
Imagine – communicating clearly, easily, intimately, perhaps like never before.
If one of you wins an argument, both of you have lost.
We’ll explore how, when, and why you communicate – even how you fight – and develop strategies to replace what’s not working.
It will take investment. It will take effort. It will take change.
You’ll need some creative problem-solving.
Your relationship – everything you’ve built together – is worth it.
We’re here to help.
So, roll up your sleeves, and let’s get to work.
