Intimate relationships are inherently challenging and require consistent attention and effort to thrive. These challenges often escalate when factors like betrayal, addiction, or mental health issues are present. It’s natural to feel powerless or stuck in destructive patterns that seem to have no resolution. Relational Life Therapy (RLT) helps couples identify & break through the dysfunctional adaptations that keep them trapped in contempt and/or disconnect. Through the therapy process, we address behaviors, thoughts, and the underlying emotional wounds that drive these patterns. This will help couples move toward mutual accountability, empathy, and connection, creating space for real transformation and healing in the relationship.
-
- Shift your perspective on the relationship, moving from blame to understanding your role in the dynamic.
- Address and change behaviors that contribute to conflict, promoting mutual accountability.
- Heal emotional disconnection by fostering vulnerability, empathy, and deeper intimacy.
- Develop clear, direct communication skills that foster respect and connection rather than defensiveness and withdrawal.
- Leverage each partner’s strengths to create balance and restore a healthy, thriving relationship.
