What is Relationship Counselling?
Being in an intimate relationship can be one of the keenest human joys and one of the greatest sources of pain. Love begins with so much hope: the dream of one day feeling known, accepted to the core; the dream of belonging, of protecting and being safe; the dream of deep passion; the dream of a lasting bond. Sadly however, the reality often brings conflict, anger, resentment and disappointment, and the dream of the perfect relationship is replaced by loneliness and pain.
What makes relationships work? Some say it is the strength of your dream, the strength of your commitment to love itself. Others say it's a matter of luck, the good fortune of finding that most excellent fit. Others say you must have passion, or sharing, or mutual interests or common values.
After exploring hundreds of relationships, we've concluded that the people who make relationships work have certain skills and an understanding of what the nature of a relationship really is. In case after case, relationships that endure and deepen are formed by couples who know what's really going on in their relationship, who are aware that the modern relationship is an evolutionary gift with unique potential for healing our childhood wounds and facilitating our personal growth. These successful couples also practice basic interpersonal skills: listening, clear communication, negotiation, handling anger appropriately, and so on.
That's good news, because you can start to really understand relationships in a way that you never have before, you can also learn new skills.
