Marriage Counseling in St. Petersburg, FL can help you reconnect
You love your partner. You are committed to your relationship. Yet sometimes it feels like you are alone in your relationship. Sometimes it feels like they don’t have your back.
Your spouse or partner is mad at you often and it feels like you can’t do anything right. You feel unimportant to them and like you don’t have value. You bicker over things that don’t really seem important yet they become important as you fight. And now the pandemic has amplified everything. It feels like your relationship or marriage is struggling more than ever.
We hear you! Marriage counseling in St. Petersburg can help. Your relationship is worth it. And now is the perfect time to begin the journey back to each other and your deeper connection.
Marriage counseling in St. Petersburg (also known as relationship therapy, as we are affirming of all relationship styles) can help you understand the underlying pain points that hijack you and your partner.
This hijacking is that feeling you have when you started talking about having tacos for dinner and ended up screaming about past hurts. Once you have a concrete understanding of the parts that make up the hijacking you will be better able to stand together as a team, and to help each other, rather than get hijacked and pulled into the dance of disconnection. It is about more than just “good communication”. This is about healing the underlying patterns and injuries that you may have carried your entire life. This is stuff you likely learned in childhood but now these patterns get in the way of you having your best, most connected relationships. Once you begin to understand these and do things differently the dance of disconnection can become a dance of connection instead.
It is worth it to make this commitment to your relationship as a couple, in therapy.
While the time, effort, and money might feel like too much, how would it be for you to feel completely supported by your partner and accepted just as you are? To feel like a team, on the same page again? How would it feel if you could confidently share your needs, desires, and hurts, and have your partner respond in a loving way? These are some of the benefits of relationship therapy or marriage counseling in St. Petersburg. When your relationship is all that it can be, when it reaches its full potential, when you are securely and wholeheartedly connected to each other the results are priceless.
In relationship and marriage counseling, like many things, you get out what you put into it.
Your relationship therapist will be your guide. Through relationship therapy or marriage counseling, you can move toward a deeper connection with your partner. They will help you understand your patterns and learn to do it differently. You likely will spend 50-90 minutes a week with a marriage counselor. You are in control of all the other minutes in the week. How can you best use them?
Relationship therapy often gives you new insight into why you react the way you do and offers new, more effective, ways for you to be in your relationship with your partner. When you are willing to take this information and put it into practice during the week between your appointments you will begin to make more concrete real change. You will experience the internal felt sense of connection and doing this dance differently. And when you notice, and highlight, the ways that you are doing it differently the shift toward deeper connection will be huge.
Yes, it is a commitment. It is a commitment to giving your relationship the time and attention that it needs to be the best that it can be. To help you feel securely connected…it is a commitment to move toward more snuggling and less fighting. You are worth it. Your relationship is worth it. Your love is worth it.
