Emotion focused therapy for couples
There can be many reasons to seek couples counseling. The challenges couples face can vary. However, a common factor among most couples who seek therapy is the feeling that something in the relationship is difficult or not working as they would like.
Common issues for couples to argue about:
-
Values

Communication
-
Disagreements about parenting
-
Different emotional and sexual needs
-
Practical responsibilities and tasks

Finances

Friends and family

In couples therapy, you can receive support to:

Get support
Strengthen your relationship bond
In a busy daily life filled with family, work, friends, hobbies, and possibly children, it can be difficult to prioritize the relationship.
Time and energy are lacking, and without even noticing it, the connection and closeness in the relationship have drowned in the everyday practicalities and logistics.
It can feel like being stranded on separate islands, with an ocean of distance between you.
Where did the closeness, intimacy, and carefree moments go?
Perhaps frustration or resignation has taken over, creating conflicts in the relationship.
In Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, we work on transforming the negative patterns that create distance between you. Together, you will have the opportunity to rediscover and strengthen the closeness, intimacy, and security in your relationship.

The pattern is the problem, not you
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is about identifying and transforming the negative pattern, that creates distance and conflicts in the relationship.
Different needs and experiences, can trigger a negative pattern, that might lead to conflicts and misunderstandings.
The consequence may be a sense of loneliness and emotional distance in the relationship.
In Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, the focus is not on who is right or wrong. Instead, we explore what causes you to feel stuck in negative dynamics that you struggle to break free from.
In couples therapy, the focus is on:
-
Defining a shared goal for couples therapy
-
Creating a safe space for both partners
-
Ensuring both partners have the opportunity to express their experiences and needs
