Mental Health Tips With Gabriel Roy-Wright
Relationship Stress
What's the deal with couples counselling? Relationships can be hard. Similar to cars, they require regular maintenance and tune-ups. If repairs are needed it's best to catch them sooner rather than later. Often couples do their own basic repairs and maintenance (like changing your own oil). But when there is a big issue, or many small issues, it can be helpful to engage a trained professional. For this reason, Kootenay Counselling offers Gottman-based couples counselling. Gottman couples counselling is one of the most effective, researched based tools for rebuilding a struggling relationship. The focus is on reducing conflict in verbal communication to restore respect, affection, and increase intimacy. Did you know that 69% of couples' conflict is perpetual? So, the goal isn’t to avoid conflict (because you can’t) but to move through it effectively. If you feel like you and your partner haven’t been getting along, don’t seem to know what to say to each other, frequently end up fighting, or often experience nagging then couples counselling may be an effective way to get the relationship back on track.
