RELATIONSHIP - Partnering Issues: Couple's Counseling and Therapy

"How close is too close,
how far is too far?"   ~Walter Brackelman,MD

No one is born with excellent relationship skills.
Well, Almost No One. Sad Huh... 
If you're fortunate to have grown up in a family
fairly skilled in communication, conflict resolution,
and trust building, you had good role models.
For most of us, relationship skills need to be
learned, re-learned or refined.

Pre-Marital Counseling ~ good idea
Research shows the quality and duration of a marriage
is significantly improved in couples that willingly participate
in pre-marital counseling. The point is simple: Pre-marital
counseling is the smartest decision any couple makes.

Couples Counseling ~ some relationships do fail...
Half of all committed relationships do begin to fail
in the first seven years. If you fail to get counseling
to help solve your problems, you're throwing your
relationship's 'potential' away without even trying.
Couples therapy remarkably restores communication,
trust, and intimacy.

'Compassion Counseling' ~ work through your options
When you and your partner are struggling with the decision
to stay married, separate or get divorced, it's a tough spot
to be in. What you need is to slow down, take a deep breath,
and work through your options.

'Compassion Counseling' is a maximum of five to eight
sessions with a trusted counselor who helps you decide
whether to restore your marriage, move toward divorce,
or take a time out and decide later. Careful commitment
to the 'counseling process' is mandatory for this to work.

Break-up, Separation, Divorce Counseling
When ending any kind of relationship, it's natural
to feel grief, loss, anger, frustration, confusion, sadness,
overwhelm, and a sense that you'll never get through this.

Good news! With counseling, you could move forward
with the possibility of renewed strength greater dignity
and practical, emotional tools.
