Living together and feeling happy in a relationship requires a lot of components such as time together, trying to understand each other, empathy, affection and kindness and that on a daily basis. Nevertheless, it is still possible to go through difficult times when you are a couple. Be reassured, all couples experience crises one day or the other. Crises are not necessarily negative, but on the contrary, inform you that your relationship is dynamique and some changes should be made.
However, when arguments become a daily occurrence, they can become painful and distance the partners from each other. Communication, empathy and closeness will become more difficult then. Frustrations will keep you in the spirale of anger and increase resentments towards each other.
Sometimes for some couples it will be too late to counsel as so many things have happened and have been said and therefore no vital energy for having the motivation to work things out can be found within themselves.
But for others, a couple therapy can help to find the way towards each other again. New communication skills, empathy and attention shown towards the partner, can help the couple to feel close and enjoy their relationship again.
couples therapy
Conflicts and constraints of everyday life are inevitable in our lives and consequently in the life of a couple. The challenge is to learn to deal with these moments in a constructive way. These moments represent valuable and necessary impulses for development, growth and change.
Crises are a challenge for every couple and every individual and always offer a chance to leave one's comfort zone and habits and to open up to the new. Often couples can come out of them strengthened and enriched. A couple can learn to communicate in a constructive, solution- and result-oriented way and to look at their potentials, possibilities and strengths.
Being aware of the reasons for your differences allows you to develop a better understanding of each other and to strengthen the bond of closeness and trust, thus creating new perspectives for the future.
individual therapy
Sometimes when couples have crises, one partner feels more at ease to seek help outside of his/her couple, whereas the other partner “doesn’t necessarily see“ why a couples therapy could be useful. So in order to help both partners, one of them can still see a therapist and counsel alone in order to become aware of his/her couple’s dynamic. Changes from his/her side can help move the relation dynamic in a more positive direction for both of them.
Preventative coaching
Throughout our long counselling experience, we thought it can be useful helping young couples to “inform” them about the future challenges they might encounter together.
​
Couples don’t need to fight and find themselves on the edge of their relationship in order to counsel, on the contrary, even if it seems awkward to see a couple counselor when everything goes right and both partners believe that they will never have any issues as they love each other so much, preventive coaching will “teach” young and “newly wed” couples about key moments in a couple relationship that can become potentially difficult.
Tools and a helpful communication style, so couples will be prepared and know how to react when cloudy moments appear. Whether it is about living together or autonomy, jealousy or infidelity, respectful communication will allow future differences of interest to be negotiated fairly and conflicts to be resolved constructively.
toxic relationship
Counselling
Some people are stuck within a toxic relationship either because of their relationship dynamic or the personality of their partner not knowing what is really going on or not knowing how to separate from their partner as they are in fear. Toxic relations can negatively impact the immune system and therefore one’s physical and mental health in the long run. The faster someone understands what is going on, the better he/she can take care of his/her health.
Others have already come out of their toxic relationship and want to rebuild themselves. It can be a long voyage: understanding, what attracted you to the other person, what made you stay for so long, what made it difficult to leave, are all important questions to not reproduce the same scheme in the next relationship.
A tailor-made accompaniment can help to figure out how to react the best and eventually seek for help in threatening and fearful situations.
