Communication amongst couples is commonly poor when a climate of fear and mistrust is perpetuated through criticism, placating, blame, and scapegoating. Under these circumstances the communication can become highly reactive, attacking, and critical. This leads over time to withdrawal, loss of hope, and marital dissolution. My main approach to counselling couples is to help improve communication and identify issues and resolve problems that hinder open honest communication. Sometimes simply by changing the words used from "you" to "I" messages, couples can drastically improve their communication and thereby start to mend the relationship where they had previously been building walls.
