Some Issues We Can Offer Help With

 
 

What if I live with someone who is very different from me?

Because every couple consists of two different people, they naturally have different assumptions, patterns and beliefs.

During periods of major change in circumstances, these differences can become magnified... and make living together stressful and exhausting.

This therapy helps you to find value in the cross-pollination potential of your differences.

 
 

Treating Infidelity: From Shock, Fury and Despair to a Fresh New Beginning

Through working with a Transformative Couples Therapy™ therapist, couples can experience transformation of their relationship through safely healing the trauma of an affair.

 
 

Feeling Stuck: Changing Ingrained Patterns

The TCT therapist shifts the focus from stuckness and upset about what is lacking, opening up a constructive discussion to bring forward what is wanted and needed by each partner.

Within this productive atmosphere, partners find that they can respond freshly to create new patterns that bring lasting relief.

Push Pull Reactions in Relationships

Sometimes couples find that their attempts at closeness are rejected in ways that mystify them. A TCT therapist can help each partner discover and understand the well worn pattern of difficulty in being close thus encouraging empathic communication in and between the partners.

 
 

Moving Beyond Hot & Cold Conflict to Trust and Lasting Love

(i’m not wild about the graphic, as it looks like they’re shaking hands, a bit formal, plus it’s the only graphic so far, and maybe not the best place for it.)

It is an all too familiar theme: a couple who alternates between red-hot and icy-cold conflict.

The wear and tear of this dynamic can generate a painful and numbing distance between partners, one which is felt by and affects the rest of the family. Hopelessness often develops as a result, which can lead to questions about separation.

In Transformative Couples Therapy® we work toward the partners experiencing a justifiable trust, leading to a mutual and balanced connection.

 
 

Premarital Therapy

TCT is designed to help couples to co-create a conscious and loving relationship as they prepare to marry.

Some wedding vows tend to leave out important decisions about HOW you want to live together.

The weeks and months before the wedding can become an invaluable time to move closer as a team, while navigating the inevitable stressors of wedding preparation.

Some couples want to improve on the patterns of relating they have witnessed growing up.

Couples benefit from finding ways to deepen their intimacy and form a foundation to grow together throughout their entire lives.

 
 

Getting Older, Getting Better

Rather than the concept of an empty nest, Transformative Couples Therapy™ focuses on new beginnings.

This involves becoming freshly curious about each other and discovering who is in the nest!

Together we aim to develop new ways to relate to each other in this later phase of life. This often involves learning new ways to have fun and relax together which can bring a sense of renewal, invigoration and joy to the relationship.
