COUPLES... Restore the connection
Don’t settle for living parallel lives, living in an atmosphere of silent tension, or modeling conflict for your children. There is a better way....
Often, after the romantic phase has passed and couples get bogged down in the mire of day to day life, work, chores, information overload, the connection that was once strong is now a distant memory with only periodic glimpses of the goodness.
You try to explain what you are feeling to your partner but the way to get through to them seems to have eroded. You may see their pain too, but find it hard to be there for them without your defenses getting in the way. Your ways of being seem to be worlds apart.
I have a strong background and certification in Harville Hendrix’s Imago Relationship Therapy. Imago Therapy is a wonderful method for enhancing relationships.
Here's what you can expect to learn from doing couples work with my coaching:
Basics on the biology of the brain so you can work with it, rather than letting it sabotage you through reactivity
A powerful, portable process, the “Intentional Dialogue”, to help you navigate through difficult conflicts
Manage the tension that arises from differences
Replace unspoken expectations with clearly stated goals
Model healthy ways to disagree for your children
Communicate effectively
Create an intentional relationship
Rediscover passion, laughter and pleasure
Experience true intimacy
