Is your couples communication breaking down more than it is working?
If your vehicle frequently broke down and it worked only 50% of the time required to drive, think about the untold dollars, time, energy, and emotional drain to repair that vehicle.
Excessive communication breakdown blocks growth, progression, and maturity in yourself and your relationship.
Negative and poor communication eats away at the foundation of trust, intimacy, closeness, and respect occurring in your relationship can lead to hopelessness.
Based on thirty plus years of research and actual observation with couples, John Gottman identifies the four most negative relationship behaviors that predict divorce or death.
- Criticism- constant put downs or “nothing is ever good enough.”
- Defensive-defending or deflecting or feeling attacked
- Contempt-being made to feel worthless or undeserving of their love or respect
- Stonewalling-shutting down, refuses to communicate, or withdraws
Fact: An experienced therapist helps you, turn endless, unnecessary self struggling on their own to handle the devastating aftermath of an affair.
Fact: Couples can rebuild, restore, recover and re-ignite their relationship after an affair.
Fact: Talking about the struggles, the pain and the healing with an experienced, non partisan professional can be extremely valuable in the repair and reparation process
Some of your communication and conflict experiences in your relationship may include:
- Exhausted with worry, anger, distrust, and loneliness
- Sleeping in separate beds
- Repeated thoughts of separate or divorce
In conflict, one partner feels compelled to talk it out, the other partner hates conflict and prefers to utterly avoid it.
One partner thinks the relationship “is fine”, the other partner feels painfully overwhelmed and angry; they believe there are serious issues to be fixed.
In a heated battle, one partner reacts aggressively and the other partner reacts passively and shuts down.
