Because commitment didn’t come
with an owner’s manual
It’s time to become “unstuck”.
Very few of us were raised with a good understanding of how to cope when we feel “stuck” (bored, hopeless, dissatisfied) in a relationship. The reality, though, is that every relationship moves through stages over time, and sometimes, things feel all (or somewhat) wrong. You might be fantasizing about how things could be different. Do you want your partner to understand you better or really “see” you? Have you been having the same conversations (about sex, money, or communication) on repeat for years? Maybe an outside perspective could help - sooner rather than later.
Deceit happens.
Betrayal looks entirely different now than in any decade prior. Whether it’s an online emotional affair, use of pornography (interactive or otherwise), or a physical infidelity, temptation and availability has never been higher for those who are married or in committed relationships. Without the capacity to talk about their needs, couples are struggling more to keep intimacy and their values intact.
Are you beating yourself up for staying with a partner who has cheated, or considering leaving because he/she/they have?
Are you seeking an answer for why you engage in behavior that damages trust and hurts your partner? Let’s talk about it together - and move you towards the relationship you deserve.
Think outside the box.
Let’s get real. Monogamy isn’t for everyone. Odds are that didn’t prevent you from considering it the gold standard as you grew up, nor did it stave off fantasies of finding “your one and only”. Many people work towards this goal, only to find they are unhappy with just one partner. Do you want to maintain a good relationship AND explore something new? Many clients find safety in my office to challenge the norms, and to find something that fits. Let’s focus on creating a relationship between you and your partner(s) that feels mutually satisfying.
