Great Couples Counseling in Midland, PA. Therapy to heal relationships.

Sometimes relationship conflicts and individual differences seem insurmountable. This can be especially so when we lack insight and compassion into not only ourselves and our own childhoods, but the developmental/family origins of our partner's behavior. When we understand the deeper meanings residing in the maladaptive behavior of our partner, we are less likely to personalize/internalize their struggles and accept their blaming projections. Moreover, we can begin relating in a compassionate manner as opposed to anger or rage. Our approach to helping couples will invigorate a new spirit of "partnership" where "keeping score" or "needing to be right" will be a dynamic of the past.

Intimacy issues, libido irregularities, partner resentment, extra relational affairs and tendencies to cheat or indulge in non- beneficial behavior are released through hypnosis so that the partner's common goals can be engendered and programmed into the subconscious and unconscious mind. Pleasure that used to be derived from activities that went against the conscious mind of the clients are released through hypnotherapy, resulting in a better relationship dynamic and intrinsic understanding of the other for the clients concerned.

Relationships can be wonderful, fulfilling, and even magical at times. They can also be frustrating, hurtful, and even maddening at times! My work with couples centers on modeling appropriate forms of communication and helping you to face the present and the future. If all you want to do is talk about the past--I'm probably not your guy. I'm interested in helping you to move forward, not to look back. I specialize in the use of humor to make the sessions more pleasant.

Couples therapy is for married and unmarried couples who are contemplating separating and divorce or are trying to to resolve difficulties in the relationship, ranging from communication, trust, infidelity, sexual, etc.... This type of treatment can be used along with individual therapy, if there are difficulties in a primary relationship. It can also be used if the identified patient’s psychiatric disorder is adversely affecting the relationship. Couples Counseling is not easy, and requires each party to be open and honest about their emotions, feelings, behavior, and commitment to their relationship. Each party is responsible for being respectful of the other, needing to be accountable for their actions.

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?
