Relationships are sometimes challenging and difficult.
Rich and deep intimacy can be achieved when partners agree to
learn from their interaction. Sometimes marriages no longer
meet the needs of both individuals and end. Without understanding
how each person contributed to the dissolution of the marriage,
it is more than likely that the same mistakes will be made in
other relationships.
Treatment
Philosophy
- Real intimacy
sometimes is anxiety- provoking.
- Couples unconsciously
create their relationships.
- Your relationship
is a stage upon which you act out your unconscious script.
Creation of a fulfilling marriage entails learning how to
live consciously.
- Understanding
individual developmental history will make conscious living
possible
- Your relationship
has the potential to heal each one of you.
- Agreeing to become
allies in this process can transform your relationship and
lead to intimacy.
What
will you have to do?
- Meet as often
as possible. Sessions are 90 minutes long, meeting weekly
at first and then less often over time.
- Stay in the
relationship for an agreed period of time to allow the process
to move forward.
- Learn how to
listen actively to each other.
- Learn how to
be empathetic with one another.
- Commit to spending
time together outside of the therapist’s office.
What
will our sessions be like?
- Sometimes we
will focus on pressing issues and concerns.
- Sometimes we
will simply listen to what the other person is saying without
regard for right or wrong.
- Sometimes we
will be present with each other without an agenda and allow
the silence to lead us.
