couple therapy
In a long-term relationship we often ask ourselves, where the love has gone. The high of the romance beginning has gone. The passion is lost, misunderstandings dominate the everyday life, there is no patience left fort he partner. The idea of separation is getting real more and more. This is often the moment when couples decide to contact a couple therapist, in order to save the relationship.
Statistically, around a half of married people separate. There are less statistics about unmarried couples but it seems to concern them to merely the same extent.
In a relationship we are constantly searching for the balance between being close to each other and still keep our autonomy. In a healthy relationship we commute between emotional connectedness and letting go, between security and playfulness and are still able to connect with each other not doubting of the relationship.
Systemic couple therapy aims at realizing:
- the status quo of your relationship and the visions of your future together
- which relationship model you want to install – a monogamic or an open relationship
- which needs you and your partner have and learn to communicate these with respect
- which needs you wish being met and which stay unsatisfied
- how to trust each other (again), reduce walls and feel safe within the couple
- how to argue in a constructive and respectful way
- how to deal with infidelity and lack of trust
The outcome can be according to your initial aim or can lead to a different one. The outcome is always open.
