Different needs and expectations in relationships can lead to disagreements from time to time. Repeating the same arguments, interrupting conversations, or feeling alone when together can strain the couple's relationship.
In couple counseling, the life of both people and the mutual interaction in the relationship are included. How difficulties arise, with what reactions they persist, and what the couple expects from the relationship are evaluated together.
In what situations can you apply?
- Repetitive, unresolved discussions around the same issues.
- Criticism, defensiveness, or moving away from conversation.
- Decreased emotional intimacy and feeling alone in the relationship.
- Problems with sharing responsibilities in housework, finances, and parenting.
- Disagreements about relationships with families, personal space, and boundaries.
- Having uncertainty about the future of the relationship and common goals.
What is addressed in the process?
In the first interviews, the expectations of both people, the strengths of the relationship and the areas of difficulty are discussed. Work on ways to recognize forms of communication, articulate needs, and address disagreements. The objectives of the interviews are determined together and reviewed in the process. Volunteering and the safety of persons are taken into consideration when evaluating the appropriateness of joint meetings.
