What are your issues?
Are you in safe?
What are your communication patterns?
We lookout for any of these ten patterns.
- The Competitive couple
- The Fight over Facts couple
- The Dominating versus the Submissive partner
- The Flip couple (He is emotionally needy, and she is logical/feeling smothered)
- The Emotionally Distant partner (one partner is only there in body, not mind)
- The Cat and Dog couple (Highly argumentative couple)
- Triangulation (Two people against one, such as parent and child against the other partner)
- The Grieving partner (who may either withdraw, or become frequently angered)
- One partner puts children first, other partner withdraws,
Or The Spontaneous versus The Highly Structured partner.
We establish who has resentment, and who would benefit with assertiveness training.
Often deep subconscious work, such as Brainspotting, works well in correcting long term ‘mental blocks’ such as avoiding conflict
How do you argue?
What was your childhood like?
What are your relationship goals?
We use Solution Focused Therapy to establish your goals for therapy. If we waved a magic wand over your relationship, and you woke tomorrow and your relationship was exactly as you want, how would it be, different to how it is today? What would the differences be? This forms your goal. When asked this question, many clients say, ‘To be happy.’ Others want ‘fireworks’, and say, ‘To have romance, dating, and to fall in love again.’ Many clients simply want, ‘Peace. To get along well’. Clear goals are vital to relationship success.
Why is homework so vital?
What do I promise?
Why are we so passionate about saving marriages? Phoebe saved her own failing marriage twenty years ago, and we have been saving marriages ever since. Thousands of relationships have been healed and transformed using the Honeymooners Forever Strategy, and there is no reason why yours should be any different.
