Something happened between you. You want to find your way through it.
COUPLES THERAPY
is your way through
Cheating Gambling Lies Abuse Broken Promises and more
You don't have to go back to the relationship you had.
With couples therapy you work toward building the relationship the both of you needed all along.
When love is still there, but trust has been broken
A serious breach of trust can change the way you see your partner.
You may question what's real. You may wonder what else you don't know. You may love the person beside you and still not feel safe getting close to them.
The partner who caused the hurt may be struggling too. They may feel ashamed, defensive, confused, or afraid that nothing they do will ever be good enough to repair the damage.
And somehow, you end up right back in the pain.
This is where couples therapy can help.
Honesty
Some things are hard to say because they're hard to hear. We create a safe space where truth can be shared.
Accountability
There is a cycle in place that's ultimately responsible for the turmoil. We first acknowledge the cycle, then the individual roles in maintaining it.
Self- Awareness
Pursuing change without awareness is like fighting a ghost. We expose unhealthy beliefs and patterns so we can change and rewrite them.
Vulnerability
Defensiveness and conflict are signs of fear and protection. We create the space for trust and vulnerability which leads to a lasting healthy connection.
Understanding brings clarity. Clarity leads to change. Change creates a new pathy forward.
The Goal Isn't Getting Your Old Relationship Back
Your old relationship got you here.
There were problems that possibly neither of you could see before everything fell apart.
This is an opportunity to see them now.
We will look at what happened between you and what is happening within each of you.
The partner who triggered the rupture has some work to do. Some wounds cannot be healed by a relationship alone, no matter how deep the love. Personal healing and accountability are important parts of repairing the harm.
The partner who was harmed has work to do.
Recovery is something you do together.
The goal is not to pretend it never happened.
The goal is to build something more honest, more real, more safe, and more connected than what you had before.
Start With a Conversation
Your complimentary 20-minute consultation gives us the chance to speak to each other and talk about what brings you to couples therapy, what you've already tried, & whether I'm the right therapist to support you.
Both partners should attend.
You don't have to have the answers, in fact, we'll keep it fairly light.
You just need to be willing to get started.
My goal is to see you win in your relationship with yourselves and, if it's healthy, with each other.
I look forward to meeting you.
Your Couples Therapist,
Kerrie
