Improving communication in your relationship
A majority of people who are looking for couples therapy in Long Beach are looking for help with communication issues within their relationship. Many relationships don’t have a foundation of healthy communication and people don’t always notice until there are problems in the relationship. Learning kind and loving communication can often be worked on to strengthen the foundation of a relationship. When communication is not there, often the couple will report a disconnect, lack of closeness and that happiness is lost in their relationship. When couples look in the wrong place for support, their relationship can start a downward spiral which is hard to stop.
My goal when I am working with couples is to first work on the foundation of the relationship. I work with couples on their communication skills and work on how to work on their issues TOGETHER, from the simplest of issues (what are we going to eat tonight) to more complex issues (I’m not happy in my relationship, I don’t feel heard in my relationship, I don’t know how to talk to my partner, etc.). The greatest of communicators weren’t just naturally born that way, they worked on communication skills over a period of time.
