Couples Therapy 

Relationship and couples therapy 

Couples therapy offers a safe space for both partners to explore new ways of communicating and understanding for one another and oneself. 
Through the process of couples therapy each partner gets to realize their long held patterns of behavior that are not working for anyone anymore. Those patterns are no longer needed and no longer serve a purpose but it is too scary to let them go as at some earlier time we needed them to create safety for ourselves.

​

With the help of couples therapy each partner learns how to notice and understand where those long held patterns come from and learns to transform them, in order to be more open to relationship with their partner but also with themselves.

The result is better communication, intimacy, compassion for one another and better understanding of each other's pain.

What happens during a Couples Therapy session?

The therapist gives each partner space and time to reflect and find better understanding of their own difficulties and those of their partner.

In mindfulness based and transpersonal work the therapist provides opportunities for deepening embodied awareness and cultivating presence and open-heartedness in relationship.

​​​

The therapist's essential role is that of reflector and facilitator of awareness. True healing is only possible to the extent that we can be fully present to the immediacy of our inner and outer experience.
