MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPY
Communication is the bedrock of a healthy
relationship, be it friendship, dating,
marriage, or family. But lines of communication
are fragile things, easily damaged in
unexpected ways.
It starts simply. Something in your relationship
isn’t working as well as it used
to. Something’s a little off. There’s
been a shift. Things seem to be going
downhill.
THE EARLY STAGES OF A COMMUNICATION PROBLEM
ARE THE BEST TIME TO CONSIDER THE HELP
OF A MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPIST.
But you wait, and it gets worse! The
way you interact just doesn’t work.
One person makes a statement, or an accusation,
and the other person can’t wait
to go “Yeah, but…!”
You’re not listening to each other.
You’re talking AT each other. Half
the time, you’re not even talking
about the same thing. You’re just
arguing. And yet you keep trying to fix
the problem yourselves, the same way you
always have.
IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU’VE ALWAYS
DONE, YOU’LL ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU’VE
ALWAYS GOTTEN!
But there’s hope. You can break
the cycle. If you want to change, want
to improve, and are willing to work to
make a shift in the way you interact with
each other…that’s all it takes.
IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO PRESERVE
THE RELATIONSHIP, IF YOU’RE MOTIVATED
AND COMMITTED.
I can teach you how to speak to each
other to insure that you’ve each
been heard. I won’t judge, and I
don’t take sides.
If you each feel understood and accepted,
it’s very empowering. The issues
may not change. But how you resolve them
will change. And that makes all the difference
in the world.
