Relationship Healing
We all experience relationship challenges
Whether we are married, cohabitating, or single, any deficit we have in the area of communication and relating with others will affect our lives in big ways.
Some of the most common issues that plague relationships
Our personal baggage and unmet needs
Anything we have not healed and any self-worth we have been unable to attain within ourselves will cause us to instinctively seek to meet those needs via our relationships.
Rejection and abandonment issues
Our rejection and abandonment issues burden and burn out our partners, as they place demands and expectations on our relationships that are impossible to fulfill.
Ineffective communication skills
We have all heard it said, “It’s not what you say, but how you say it.” So, it is no surprise that communication issues are usually at the forefront of a couple’s struggles.
Poor and underdeveloped coping skills
Learning how to cope effectively with life enables us to function more effectively in all aspects of our lives, including our relationships.
Deep codependency issues
Learning to love ourselves and meet our own internal needs, allows others to relax in our presence and experience a relationship with us as a mutual giving and receiving of love, energy, and support.
Trust violations and infidelities
Trust violations, such as physical or emotional infidelities and shady behaviors, can only be overcome with a newfound sense of respect, integrity, and transparency.
The solution
I teach couples to
- Identify the differences between the genders, i.e., what each gender values and prioritizes, tends to get triggered by, tends to respond favorably to, and needs in order to have satisfying relationships.
- Develop specific communication, relationship, and coping skills that improve relationships.
- Increase emotional intimacy in relationships.
- Use power principles for thriving in relationships.
- Diminish the effects of ego and selfishness in relationships.
