Relationship Counseling

Are you in a new and promising relationship and don’t want past issues to come up and interfere? Have you been cheated on or betrayed in the past causing you to have trust issues in your current relationship? Have you had some bad relationships in the past and put up with a lot from undeserving partners? Do you find yourself now in a relationship that is really really good-- and you just want to keep it that way? If you’ve had pretty contentious and argumentative relationships in the past it might be confusing to be in a new relationship with a nice person that respects you, is willing to listen and also give you space.

Relationship therapy will help you gain mental clarity and talk through issues and feelings that you’ve possibly been ignoring or purposely avoiding. It can also help you get to a place where even if you are feeling jealous, paranoid, or insecure, you can learn to quiet and understand these feelings and express them clearly and kindly.

Case Example:

Therapy for Relationship Issues

A current Root To Rise Therapy client, Emily, lived in a very small apartment with her new boyfriend. She finally met a guy that was kind, stable, and loving but found herself feeling overwhelmed with the transition to cohabitation. She felt cramped in the small space. She was very organized and clean and had a low tolerance for not being in control of her environment.

Even though she was so happy living with her boyfriend, there were moments where she felt like she was going to lose it. She noticed herself overthinking things and becoming irritable and inpatient with her boyfriend. This was Emily’s first time living with a partner, and she wanted to make sure she was doing everything right to ensure the health and longevity of her relationship.

In therapy she learned how to be more patient and less reactive in her relationship. She learned how to communicate her feelings clearly but kindly so that she wasn’t being irritable or mean. She learned a routine of self-care that helped her to ground herself so that she was able to better manage the stressors in her life. Two years later, Emily and her boyfriend bought a 3 bedroom home and are now living happily with their new puppy, communicating well, and on the road to marriage!
