“We just feel stuck and aren’t hearing each other.” Relationships can be challenging when we aren’t hearing each other, we help couples have a deeper understanding of their partners experience Challenges couples face what we hear FROM couples “It goes 0-100 sometimes over something so small like the dishes. “If only my partner would do more.” “If only my partner would stop being so negative.” “Anytime I try to share my feelings they get upset.” “I feel like I’m giving 80% and they’re only giving 20%” “We keep having the same fight over and over.” how we work with couples Our approach We start by slowing things down. Discussions turn into arguments quickly so we look to slow things down so you can keep it from escalating. We also explore how your message about yourself from the past play a role in your current relationship. We help you to understand the way you protect yourselves in these disagreements and how it keeps you from getting heard. We help you learn how to provide comfort and be a source of comfort and safety rather than stress. We also help you express your feelings more directly. The more direct the message the better chance it has at getting responded to the way you like. Overall we look to help you lean into vulnerability and turning towards each other rather than away from each other. INQUIRE
