THE MOST COMMON RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS
- When relationship problems arise
Nobody goes into a relationship expecting problems, but when things start going wrong, it can really impact every aspect of our lives. Many of us weren’t given great role models for healthy relationships, so most of us are trying to do our best with limited know-how on how to make our relationship the best it can be. When a relationship is struggling, people can’t feel much of the love anymore, and the connection they once loved and valued so much has waned. Others feel they don’t know themselves anymore for they have ‘lost themselves’ in the relationship. It can then be easy to fall into the trap of pushing one anothers buttons and not communicating effectively and lovingly, creating a negative cycle that is difficult to extricate yourself from.
- A devastating affair or betrayal
When a partner chooses to look beyond their relationship and develop another connection with someone, this causes a huge amount of pain for the partner whose agreement of monogamy has been betrayed. This is an extremely difficult time, but a skilled therapist can help you navigate and work through the issues involved and gradually, with time, grow into a relationship that is even better than the one you had before.
- When neither of you are listening
Communication issues are one of the main causes of relationship discontent. Most couples find that over time their communication starts to slip and become a problem. We all want to speak and be really heard, but when you are having relationship problems, most people complain their partner is not listening. This, in turn, usually means they don’t feel inclined to listen to the other partner, which leads to a lose-lose situation where both talk and nobody listens. Learning how to express your honest thoughts and feelings in a way that your partner truly listens to is a learned skill and is crucial to leading a happy and fulfilling relationship. We can show you how this can be done in simple ways.
- Unresolved conflict leading to loss of love
Every couple has conflict, because we are two different people; but it is important to be able to resolve the conflict that comes up in a reasonable time and not let it fester away and simmer for years. Doing this leads to hidden resentments, which is the primary cause of a loss of love between you over time.
WHAT IS OUR COUNSELLING SUCCESS RATE?
While every couple’s situation is unique, we are proud to say that the feedback we receive from our clients is 93% positive, in that the therapist has assisted them to work through their issues to create a better relationship together.
