Relationship Counseling

Growing apart leads to asking the wrong question.

“Everything is an argument, or we don’t talk at all. I feel like we are business partners who live together. I’m not appreciated, we don’t do anything together, and they don’t listen to me anyway.”

All relationships grow and change over time, but that can sometimes be negative and cause emotional distance.

If we are not careful, we can grow accustomed to “existing together,” which leads to sadness and loneliness, ultimately causing us to ask the question, “Why are we even still together?”

Counseling can help the two of you grow and change in a positive direction.

Bridge the gap that’s keeping you apart.

Relationship counseling should not be a “last resort.” Counseling can create a bridge between the emotional distance currently experienced and the foundation once built from love and affection for one another.

Often, people see the importance of learning how to communicate their feelings long before contemplating the end of a relationship.

Entering relationship counseling takes two people who are committed to each other and who see a future together. Don’t think of counseling as taking you “back to the way things used to be.”

Counseling is about realizing the beauty in building the relationship based on who we are today and welcoming change as a part of the process.

“But how do we get started?”

We start with identifying the feelings each is presently experiencing. It’s essential to understand and validate the feelings expressed by each person to gain perspective.

We look at how the relationship began, how it developed, and how it came to be as it is today.

Learning the importance of listening to hear rather than to respond is an essential part of this process. Once we can actively listen, we can make efforts to create positive change.

Valuing each other leads to positive growth and change.

Start by recognizing the value in your partner and the relationship.

Deciding to seek help requires a joint decision, just like the commitment you made to each other.

You can create a future that reflects who you were when the relationship started, who you are today, and who you want to be as a couple in the future.

The possibilities are endless.
