Marriage & Relationship Counselling
Although relationships are comprised of individuals with their own beliefs, values, and habits, relationships are dynamic living systems. Even the most insightful and caring individuals can slip into patterns of interaction that are difficult and hurtful. Understanding the patterns that affect your relationship can help you to work together as a team and liberate you from power struggles and blame.
There could be a multitude of factors in a relationship that erode the emotional connection partners once shared. Issues may include: infidelity, sexual challenges, disagreements over parenting or careers, problems with extended family, addiction, unresolved past issues, differences in values, problems communicating, stress around division of labour, life transitions, and many others.
Underlying all of these issues are partners who are upset that their needs for validation, affection, and approval are being ignored or dismissed. The result is disconnection from the person we depend on most for acceptance and closeness. We feel alone and wonder if we should even stay together or we shut down and try to numb ourselves from the pain disconnection causes.
