MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPY

Communication is the bedrock of a healthy relationship, be it friendship, dating, marriage, or family. But lines of communication are fragile things, easily damaged in unexpected ways.

It starts simply. Something in your relationship isn’t working as well as it used to. Something’s a little off. There’s been a shift. Things seem to be going downhill.

THE EARLY STAGES OF A COMMUNICATION PROBLEM ARE THE BEST TIME TO CONSIDER THE HELP OF A MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPIST.

But you wait, and it gets worse! The way you interact just doesn’t work. One person makes a statement, or an accusation, and the other person can’t wait to go “Yeah, but…!” You’re not listening to each other. You’re talking AT each other. Half the time, you’re not even talking about the same thing. You’re just arguing. And yet you keep trying to fix the problem yourselves, the same way you always have.

IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU’VE ALWAYS DONE, YOU’LL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU’VE ALWAYS GOTTEN!

But there’s hope. You can break the cycle. If you want to change, want to improve, and are willing to work to make a shift in the way you interact with each other…that’s all it takes.

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO PRESERVE THE RELATIONSHIP, IF YOU’RE MOTIVATED AND COMMITTED.

I can teach you how to speak to each other to insure that you’ve each been heard. I won’t judge, and I don’t take sides.

If you each feel understood and accepted, it’s very empowering. The issues may not change. But how you resolve them will change. And that makes all the difference in the world.
