You’ve had it with each other.
Arguing daily over the most minuscule things has become a constant pattern in your relationship. One sideways glance, and you’re back in the ring, ready to take down your opponent.
You’ve tried to hold it together so that you only fight when the kids are asleep, but even setting these ground rules is a losing battle at this point.
You argue and fight over what to make for dinner, the way to load the dishwasher, how to bathe the kids, how to put away the toys, and even how to fold the towels.
The reality is that none of these things are worth fighting for, but it’s easier to fight about those than to fight about what’s going on – you’ve lost your connection and can’t find your way back to each other. The more time passes, the less likely it seems you’ll be able to fix things.
Therapy can help you find your way back.
Therapy can help you rediscover the person you fell in love with and recreate that connection you lost.
Dedicating an hour to each other every week is a good start. Turning a couples therapy night into a date night (with dinner after) is even better. Through tried-and-true Gottman Method for Couples Therapy, you will be able to identify areas that need improvement, which areas are strong, and strategies to communicate more effectively.
Open communication without judgment or fighting allows the two of you to begin to work through the issues that keep you apart. With a keen eye and ear, I can help you identify where your communication is going sideways.
My many years of experience in the education system have allowed me to master the “teacher look,” and you’ll know it when you see it. I will gently guide you toward the solutions that will work best for you, teach you how to reconnect, and call you out when you’re fighting dirty.
