The Principles Of Seattle Couples Therapy

By Lawanda Burch


Many partners will run into trouble over the course of their relationship together. What was once a passionate and endearing connection can deteriorate into name calling and angry conversations over the most minor of issues. Sometimes the partnership will collapse and both sides simply want out and do not care to discuss matters anymore. However, some partners may decide that there love is still strong and they want to get past their disagreement by attending seattle couples therapy sessions. These sessions are normally guided by a set of principles that are intended to open the door for a partner to have fruitful communications with their significant other.

There is usually some underlying causes that keep an argument going for extended periods of time. A method a counselor uses to figure out the what those cause might be is to allow people to present their views on a variety of subjects. This can allow the counselor to understand how they think and why they have developed the viewpoints they hold.

Knowing why one thinks they way they do is important to understanding how a person responds to conflict. People often revert to measures they have used in the past when engaging in an argument. Sometimes the measures are more harmful in their current situation then when they first developed them in the first place.

The falling back on old methods can lead to trouble. Those who were not treated well as a child may revert to how they protected their emotions when a parent or sibling abused them. In later life, when they get involved in a disagreement with their spouse, those feelings might rise again and the other spouse might revert to maladaptive techniques to protect their emotions.

People who do not know how to resolve their differences in a healthy manner can find themselves continuing to argue with their significant other. One conflict follows an other and the intensity of the newer conflicts increases. The increase is due to them not resolving their issues through understanding and acceptance.

There are numerous triggers that can cause relationships to stumble. Some of the most common are financial difficulties and illnesses or injuries that reduce the physical and mental abilities of a sufferer. Another aspect that can negatively affect a relationship is the influence of family members and friends who might have their own priorities in damaging a relationship one person has with another.

Relationships can be mended once the two sides understand how each other thinks and why they think that way. If the spouses realize that the reactions are not necessarily personal in nature, they might be more open to changing their perceptions on what is happening. They can work together to change how they think and behave together.

Struggling relationships can be fixed. This might take considerable effort on the partners involved, but those who are committed to each other can have a good chance to survive together. Seattle couples therapy has helped many people reconnect and start again.
