Relationships

“Love cures people – both the ones who give it and the ones that receive”

 

Relationships are complex and at some time in our lives all of us have problems with them.  What is intended and how we experience an action or comment can be very different.  For example, if our partner suddenly buys us a large present without giving us an explanation, although his/her intentions may have been well-meaning, we may be very suspicious.  A good relationship depends on good communication, but we often assume that our loved ones must know how we feel.  This is not the case.

 

Ways of being with our partners can feel so rigid that we can forget that we have choices about how we behave in that relationship.   We may feel unloved, unappreciated, unacknowledged and so on.  Relationships can feel persecutory, if we do not tell our partners how we are feeling, we become more and more resentful and angry.

 

How can counselling help.

A counsellor because they are not caught up in the relationship, will be able to help you to understand what is going on in your relationship.  She/he may be able to offer a different perspective on an event, while at the same time validating your experience of the situation.  The session will give you the space and time to talk through your feelings and enable you to make changes if that is what you decide you would like to do.
