Marriage Counseling Orlando and Relationships

Marriage counseling Orlando, seeks to look at systems of communication and patterns that have been going on for several years that no longer are effective or is causing increased conflict and discord. These systems over time tend to continue and play out in relationships causing more and more anger and frustration. Marriage Counseling in Edgewood is very beneficial. What Marriage Counseling Orlando is Not: A place to embarrass the other partner in an attempt to get the therapist to “take sides”. Geared toward the story line but rather the patterns that continue to repeat. Rehashing old stories that felt painful does not help to move forward. An opportunity to get a professional to “back you up” and say that you are right and the other partner is wrong. Both are equally part of the problems and the solutions. Marriage Counseling Orlando Counseling for couples is about restoring balance, both partners feeling appreciated and validated. Listening and seeing how each other can not only improve the relationship but improve themselves as a whole. All too often a couple has forgotten to get back to the basics of what attracted them in the first place. They are caught up in the blame game that seems to go nowhere. As your therapist it is my job to help each couple take ownership and responsibility for their part in the issues that brought them to therapy. To work towards learning healthy patterns of communication so each feel appreciated, heard and validated. Marriage Counseling Orlando and the Baggage We Bring In Adults bring years of their own experiences from past relationships. Family of origin issues and their own belief systems about relationships. With these expectations they try force their opinions on the other and change that person. They have set unrealistic expectations on their partner and/or themselves. They find they are disappointed, anxious, angry and distraught when these expectations are not met. Rediscovering each other for the first time is key to learning a new method of reengaging in the relationship. This builds a strong and lasting bond. Most couples, similar to family counseling rarely come into therapy both highly motivated and ready to work on improving their relationship. One is felt dragged into session. It becomes a last ditch effort to save the marriage. It’s important for me to remember that much like family therapy, I am looking at systems of communication and patterns that have been going on for several years. The patterns that no longer are effective or never were in the first place. Marriage Counseling Orlando - Individual and Together Some therapists want to meet individually with the clients and then have them together at certain times throughout therapy. I believe the best work with couples is done with both involved and present at the first session. There are the exceptions of course. Signs of emotional, physical or verbal abuse from the other partner. Also if one of the partners is dealing with deep wounds from the past and are unable to move ahead without individual therapy to work on past family of origin issues. These issues do not relate to the present relationship but are affecting it.
