Life Can be Better with Healthy Relationships.
“For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of
our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof; the work for which all other
work is but preparation.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Are You Experiencing Conflicts or
Disappointment in Your Important Relationships?
Inside each of us, we have two major drives:
- Drive #1: To be connected, to belong, to be a part of an accepting
group
- Drive #2: To stand out, to be unique, to be a special individual
Can you see where these two drives might sometimes contradict
each other? In fact, there are times when we are at war within
ourselves. Doesn't it make sense, then, that we would sometimes feel at
odds with the people who matter the most to us?
Couple or family counseling can help us understand and improve
the way we relate to one another. It can help family members or
significant others learn to problem solve to resolve conflicts peacefully.
We might look at how each of you were taught to express thoughts
and emotions. We may need to explore family roles and how comfortable
you are in your role.
What are the spoken and unspoken rules that define your family?
Have you fallen into behavior habits that don't work?
We also help you identify your family's strengths, which can
sometimes be overshadowed by negative thinking. Uncovering your
strengths gives us a solid foundation to build upon.
Sometimes individual work is used to help understand what the
person is feeling, what they believe they need and how to ask for this in
a way that can be heard without attacking or challenging the other.
Please get in touch if you would like to explore ways you can make
your relationships healthier and more satisfying. Life can be better.
