In couples counseling, I combine the elements I use with individual clients, including intention, self-exploration, embodiment, and trauma resolution with Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). There is really nothing like having your trigger right in the therapy room with you to push you past your own denial or avoidance.
This work requires vulnerability and willingness. Each partner will be asked to dig deep and explore the underlying layers that come up for them in a difficult relationship moment. Under the reaction is the unprocessed pain, loss, or fear that drives the reactive behavior. No matter what your partner does, I'd like you to be able to respond in a kind, respectful way that you can feel good about when you go to bed at night. You don't get to control whether or not your partner changes, but you can learn to understand your needs, separate from codependency and projections, love yourself and express yourself to your partner in a good way.
If you are interested in exploring couples counseling with me, please email me. Let me know your intention for meeting (what you hope for yourself and your relationship) and what your general availability is. Please copy your partner on the email. If my availability fits yours and the intentions are a match for what I do, we'll arrange a time to speak by phone.
Supporting couples that trust themselves and each other enough to do deep exploration together is sacred work. It would be my honor to be a part of your journey towards a secure, healthy, thriving partnership.
