How can couples coaching help us?
Most people are not born with good relationship skills. They often need to be learned. In addition if you have the opposite attachment style to your partner, you may have different needs which may be causing conflict between the two of you. You may be experiencing repetitive negative cycles of interaction, unresolvable arguments, and differences in the way you communicate which may cause conflict. Fear of conflict may just make matters worse. You may be feeling invisible in your relationship and feel like you don’t matter. Emotional connection and intimacy may be diminished and you may no longer feel compatible.
Coaching using Integrated Attachment Theory and Relational Life therapy for couples can help identify the problem areas in your marriage/partnership, and the underlying reasons for those problems. By learning new skills, understanding your partner’s attachment style and relationship triggers, and having tools to repair the areas of your relationship that need healing, it is absolutely possible to have the relationship that you want! Whether you are wanting to save your relationship and transform it, or want to evaluate whether you should stay or leave, I can help you navigate your journey and provide the tools and strategies that will help you!
How can relationship coaching help me as an individual?
Attachment based coaching can help you even if you are not in a romantic relationship. You may be contemplating a relationship or dating, or you may be recently divorced or going through a break up and wondering why your relationship failed, or why you keep having failed relationships. You may be confused as to why you keep attracting the same type of romantic partner in your life or you may simply find relationships difficult and not understand why.
Because your attachment style affects the way you think, what you believe about yourself, the needs that you have and the way you cope emotionally, understanding yourself and all the different aspects of who you are is the most empowering thing you can do! Learning what it means to love yourself is deeply enlightening, and when you can do that, the most important relationship of all, the one with yourself, will change dramatically. When you feel secure in yourself and have good levels of self-esteem, challenges become easier to handle, resiliency increases and relationships naturally improve.
Individual coaching can help accelerate your personal healing journey, help you make better relationship choices in the future and improve any relationship that you are currently in now, including the relationships with your friends and family. Invest in yourself today!
