Couple’s Therapy
When you fight with the person you love the most, it might seem from the outside that you’re upset about something relatively small. However, the intensity of emotion betrays the truth: you’re fighting for the most important parts of your life: love, respect, connection, acceptance and safety.
When your partner is upset with you, you may shut down and seem disinterested, but that isn’t actually true. You’re afraid of judgment and being attacked, so you defend and protect yourself in order to keep the relationship together. You’re fighting for safety and waiting out the storm.
I use Emotionally-Focused Couple’s Therapy (EFCT) to help you to repair the old hurts that get in the way of a safe connection with your partner.
We can get to the heart of the matter. Let’s explore these patterns in the safest, bravest way, so that you two can get back to the fun parts of the relationship.
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the “gold standard” in relationship therapy.
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
