Therapy for Marriage, Family, & Couples
When one does a web search of the word “relationship” a myriad of information is found. Many of the websites are devoted to give information about how to heal relationships. These websites provide tools, tips and the latest and greatest steps to improving one’s interactions with others. By no means do I see this as a harmful situation; in fact, I believe this is a great opportunity for one to seek out information for personal growth.
This “information consumption” can become a challenge however if only one person is gleaning such information. Families and couples are meant to be relational. A fitting synonym for the word relationship is affinity [attraction/drawn-to]. By what if our family or partnership is doing nothing but the opposite? What if our relationships are coming undone and the feeling of being torn apart is ever apparent? Having tools can assist in growth, but what if only one person feels the need to use them?
Family and couples therapy brings together the whole picture. By working together we illuminate areas of concern, and affirm areas of strength. We take everyone’s own “research” (a.k.a life experiences) and seek an opportunity to gain an understanding of each other. We attempt to see as the others see. By investing in our relationships and families, using the aid of therapy/counseling, we can provide an opportunity to gain insight, plot a course of action, and navigate our relationships to a healthier future. After all, there is an abundance of worrisome things in this world; our family, friends and partnership hopefully can become our greater strength and support.
