Therapy for Couples
We lost that connection along the way.
The start of a relationship is always the best. Isn’t it? We enjoy each other’s company, rarely fight, and have nights of amazing connection and intimacy.
Pan to the future, and here we are, irritated as all get out because the garbage sits overflowing, one partner is watching television, and the other is fuming while putting the dishes in the dishwasher for the 700th time.
Does this resonate?
Intimacy is walking past one another and high-fiving now, whereas before, there were hours of cuddling and taking in each other’s scents.
The honeymoon phase is on life support and fading fast!
Time to establish a new rhythm.
Don’t fret, change is possible.
Often, we forget that opposing rhythms of existence can be interrupted at any time.
You start by remembering why you got together.
Whether it’s a particular face made while making dinner or concentrating or how we still make each other coffee in the morning, it’s the small steps that shift everything into a loving, less hostile, and manageable dance.
Learn to be aware of your partner’s needs.
Establishing the right connection requires learning to notice when your partner is bidding for attention.
Whether it’s insisting that you look at this new product on the Internet or talk about planning the next vacation, these are all ways that our partners want us to be involved.
Awareness of these small things can soften the approach we have with one another and bring a new sense to light: the longing.
Don’t let the past ruin the present.
We long to be back in that space of unconditional love and friendship, but past hurts and events have created walls between us.
Tearing down the walls and focusing on the strengths that brought you together in the first place provides the means of recreating that connection and love.
Part of the help that I provide is decoding the messages underneath the action and peeking at the hurt that still taints the current way we connect.
A supportive presence can revive your relationship!
