Couples Counseling for Communication
For any couple who is tired of hashing it out and just wants to find a solution
We are built for connection, yet sometimes the relationships in our lives create more chaos than joy.
You may find that you are rehashing the same arguments, feeling like your partner doesn't care to understand you, and leaving each interaction even more defeated, resulting in not wanting to communicate at all. You may not know how you got here and have even less of an idea of how to get out of it. “Communication difficulties” is the top reason couples seek counseling. Despite feeling defeated, frustrated, and at the end of your rope, you are not alone if this is the picture of your relationship.
Relationships should add value to our lives rather than being a source of stress and pain. Couples in counseling are often relieved to share their story and find acceptance in their struggle. You’ll get to experience deeper conversations and you’ll learn more about yourselves and each other to help you feel more connected. You’ll learn tangible tools to use in the tough conversations so you both can experience resolution. This is the start of a relationship you’ve been hoping for.
What couples counseling can do
Help you figure out the patterns that are negatively impacting your relationship
Give you the opportunity to practice new ways of interacting
Show you ways to get to know yourself, your partner, and your relationship in a way you never have before
Help you determine whether or not to continue your relationship
Teach you different ways to communicate and hear each other in your relationship
What couples counseling DOESN’T do
Blame one partner for all of the problems in your relationship
Fix your relationship on its own (work outside of session is just as important as the work inside session)
Force you to stay together
Make the decision about continuing or ending the relationship for you
Treat you like every other couple. You, your stories, and your relationship is unique, so your couples counseling should be as well
