What to expect
Couples therapy can be an intimidating endeavor to begin. My first priority is to provide a space for both of your perspectives to be valued and heard equally. During this initial process, we commonly find that there are assumptions, emotional patterns, and reenactments occurring within the relationship that create distance. By tracking these dynamics, we can empower each other to develop new connection pathways.
Reenactments
In couples therapy, we will explore how each of you have experienced emotional expression, support, and presence in relationships. This empowers us to understand our partner’s emotional landscape and beliefs about communication.
If you’d like additional time to meet with your partner, I recommend starting with my couples intensive initially.
Patterns
Couples often have already explored ways to get their needs met prior to seeking couples therapy. This process can create feelings of hopelessness, distance, and resentment— all are common feelings when beginning couples counseling.
Hope begins when we learn to identify what our emotional patterns are, how we perceive our partners emotions, and what our beliefs are about meeting the relationships needs.
