Many couples struggle with busy work lives; raising children, caring for elderly parents at the same time, navigating different roles together as parents, partners. Often I hear about past family of origin trauma that exists internally and can put a lot of stress on a relationship. I meet with couples that struggle with all sorts of issues: infidelity, new parenthood, sexual issues, financial struggles and they are usually frustrated and stuck in their communication style and patterns of conflict. I've also met with couples that want "pre-marital counseling".
Many feel emotionally disconnected and would like to find new ways of feeling close.
In childhood a secure attachment is about the feeling of love, safety, reliability and consistency in a strong relationship between the parent(s)/caregiver and child. As adults in romantic relationships, we look to our primary partner for many of the same things that we sought in childhood and when we feel alone, or misunderstood or hurt, the pain can feel unbearable leading to intense arguments that bring back feelings from childhood.
I make every effort to never "pick sides" and listen carefully working from an Emotionally Focussed Therapy perspective.
With time, attention, and real understanding, my focus is on helping couples restore or in some cases create a new kind of attachment. Relationships can be the greatest source of growth, love, strength and stability.
