Does it feel like you and your partner just can’t get along?
Does it feel like there is more conflict then there is peace in the house?
Because of conflict, have you stopped communicating with each other?
Has conflict affected your emotional and physical intimacy?
Do you find yourself only focusing on your partner’s negative traits?
Do you feel disapproved of more by your partner than approved of?
What this means is do you think your partner thinks you do more wrong in the relationship than you do right?
Relationship counselling can save your relationship.
It isn’t a magic pill you take once and everything suddenly changes.
You can’t blame everything on your partner.
In counselling you maybe challenged on things you need to change such as the way you speak to your partner, dismissing their feelings or not respecting their opinion on important matters.
Counselling helps both partners to communicate and listen while validating their partner’s feelings and perception.
Counselling alone will not save your relationship.
Coming to counselling once or twice will not save your relationship.
You both have to put in the work each time you leave the counselling session.
You have to put in the work at home.
You may need to attend counselling up to 6mths or even 12mths depending on the state of your relationship.
if you both consistently do the home work given and depending if you both attend the sessions regularly, your relationship can be turned around.
In Relationship counselling you both have to be honest about how you feel.
It isn’t easy hearing hard truths from your partner, but if you can both take onboard the way you speak to each other combined with what the counsellor explains what you both can work on, your relationship can be turned around.
Being defensive when you don’t like what you are hearing wont save your relationship.
Shutting down or cutting off your partner wont work.
If you are both willing to look closely at yourselves and any learnt behaviours you may have brought into your relationship, your relationship has a better chance of lasting the distance than not doing anything at all.
Don’t wait until your partner says
“I’m done! We need to separate!”
