Relationship Issues

Sooner or later, most romantic relationships become challenging. Once the honeymoon phase is over, tensions arise. You may wonder, "Where is that perfect partner I thought I had? Why is everything falling apart?" Often, partners find themselves repeating hurtful arguments, locked into stony silences, feeling isolated and criticized. Although things can feel pretty hopeless at this point, this is a normal stage in relationships and one that is filled with potential to know and be known by your partner in a new and deeper way.

Research has shown that what is most important in healthy relationships is the belief that your partner cares about how you feel. When each person in the couple comes to believe that they can depend on their partner to understand and care about them, the relationship is transformed. Differences become an opportunity to learn about each other and grow together. The potential to experience a new kind of joyfulness in being together becomes a real possibility.

Therapy can help you reach this new understanding. It is the job of the therapist, in collaboration with you as an individual or couple, to understand what is at the root of your difficulties. Therapy can illuminate the real issues and help you get a handle on the painful emotional cycles that have such a grip on your life.
