Find Understanding and Connection with Your Partner

You love your partner, but communication has been hard lately

You know that you are committed to each other and want to build your life together, but lately it’s been feeling like you are speaking different languages. You have misunderstandings often, feelings get hurt and you are having a tough time talking things out in a productive manner. Criticism and defensiveness have crept up and you are feeling weighed down and anxious by the conflict or unresolved issues.

 

Or you might not fight very often at all, but having a really hard time being vulnerable and expressing your feelings, which is creating distance in your relationship. There are difficult topics that you have been avoiding such as finances, kids or future plans. You know that there are those difficult topics that you have been avoiding because you and your partner don’t know where to start. There might be trust issues ruing your sense of peace and security and you want that trust back.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy can Completely Transform your Romantic Relationship

Couples have told me that couples therapy has been a lifesaver. You will have the tools you need to fully listen and understand your partner, to approach difficult topics with ease, and to finally resolve those reoccurring fights and discover compromises that feel fair to both people. You will also find more romance and passion in your relationship again, strengthen your emotional connection and improve physical intimacy. If your relationship has gone through a breach of trust or infidelity, you will be guided with compassion and understanding to rebuild trust, heal and restart your relationship again.

If you are ready to improve your relationship and committed to do the work that it takes, couples therapy will help you get there.
