Great Couples Counselling in Baldonnel, BC. Therapy to heal relationships.

Having a rewarding, satisfying marriage is one of life's greatest pleasures; thus it is sad to see how many people feel they need to be satisfied with mediocrity in this area. Currently, there is a lot of research in the area of marriage on what it takes to make a marriage this great experience. The hard part is that it often takes changing patterns. The goal in marriage therapy is to isolate the issues that are causing the relationship to derail (which are often different than what the conflicts are about) and work on creating understanding and new ways of relating that fit with each partner's goals through creating healing attachment experiences.

Many couples struggle with communication and "feeling heard". Over time a once happy and vibrant relationship can begin to decay through hurt feelings, anger, lack of attention, feeling valued, infidelity, the strain of children, childhood issues, and much more. We focus to heal the wounds of the past and rebuild the love and trust within the relationship. We work to equip both partners with a voice and ability to effectively listen and hear one another. We will work together to establish individual boundaries within the relationship, while creating a stronger and healthier connection. Our goal is to equip each couple with the tools they require for success, independent of counselling

Achieve clear and effective communications, learn to speak about expectations and disappointments, set boundaries and mutual goals, ease tension and conflicts, discuss and process past hurts, learn the freedom in taking responsibility or owning our actions, patterns, and projections. These are some of the benefits of couples counseling. Where appropriate, we incorporate Art therapy or creative activities that can be completed both separately and together to assist in your particular the healing journey.

Trobak Holistic Counselling's approach to couples therapy is: 1. Understand why a the couple is struggling. 2. Often people bring in their own baggage into a relationship. These unresolved issues can cause tension, frustration, lack of trust, abuse, disrespect etc in a relaitonship. 3. Working with individuals to work through their own personal stuff and then bringing the individuals together as a couple to work through issues with being a couple.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?
