Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile,
a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the
smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to
turn a life around.
- Leo Buscaglia, (1924-1998)
What was different when things were better in your
relationship? What were you doing that invited that special
person into your life? When was the last time that you
communicated appreciation or gratitude to your partner?
How did you answer some of these questions? When we
enter into our relationships we have hope and dreams of
what is to come and at times we find ourselves in a rut
where we have forgotten these things that made our
relationship special.
Our job as therapists is not to simply sort out and debate
who is right and who is wrong in the relationship. Rather, we
see ourselves as helpful guides that are here to assist you
and your partner re-remember your relationship so that you
both can get back into touch with passion, hope, and vision
of your future.
We will enter into a therapeutic conversation of possibilities
and hope that will encourage and nurture cooperation in
your relationship instead of fostering talks of blame.
These new conversations will uncover and revel the
strengths of your relationship that you have overlooked and
open the door for solutions and new possibilities in this new
chapter in the story of your relationship.
Once you and you partner begin to describe your future beyond the grasp of the problem
that has brought you here, you will be freed to notice and observe the small things that
make a difference in your relationship re-emerge and blossom into wonderful possibilities.
How did we get here from there? How did we forget to do the small things that are special that
have created space for this problem to move in? Many times we get busy with work and
building a family, attending to other obligations. Humans are creatures of patterns and at time
fall out of the patterns that are good for our relationship into troublesome patterns such as poor
communication, defensiveness, criticism, and contempt. The result is that we are giving voice to
negative stories of our relationship and overlooking the good ones.
