Couples Therapy
This is where my passion for therapy started. I developed the notion to learn all that I can about the human condition centered around developing relationships to ideally help people co-parent for the sake of children involved in the relationship. I have a personal history of recognizing the connection between divorce and child development. My studies have show the important of maintaining connection, and engaging in healthy conflict to relive some stress from all parties involved. As we know there is no perfect relationship, family, friendship, etc. We don’t have to be perfect at this. Relationships are hard. But the willingness to hold space for each other, grow in your own experience, and make the main thing, the main thing, can make all the difference.
If you are willing to take this step: 1). you are brave, 2). you are courageous, and 3). you are tenacious. This can be a tough experience, and a rewarding one. From personal experience, the ability to endure a “rupture” or painful event in the relationship, and have willingness to do the work to repair what was broken or lost shows promise in improving connection significantly. And that is what is important, maintaining connection regardless of continuing in the marriage, relationship etc., or moving forward in separation. I believe there are ways in which to do each with as much connection as possible. Did I mention you are very brave?
