What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

Couples work is unique and interesting. What a lot of people don't understand it that of course you have different viewpoints - you are in different bodies, have different life experiences and are actually looking at different views! Many times the problem is simply communication: no matter how many times you tell your partner what you need, they just don't hear it. That is where I come in- helping people to get heard and also to hear clearly! In this way there can be a softening and a coming together, with both partners feeling loved and understood. You don't have to continue fighting, and counseling doesn't mean you failed. It is a gift you give your relationship to help nurture it.

Many couples resist therapy because of embarrassment or a belief that love shouldn’t take work. But, good relationships require both work and commitment. Therapy can be a useful tool in this process because it can help you look at reoccurring issues in an new way so that you and your partner don’t continually have the same argument over and over. The key factor is to seek therapy before it is too late. So, if you find you and your partner are starting to repeat arguments or to harbor resentment towards one another, it’s time to seek help.
