When was the last time you had a real conversation with your partner?

Many couples feel a sense of trepidation when they begin therapy together. There can be many reasons for this, but the most pressing is often the most simple. When you sit down together with a therapist, you are actually going to have to talk to each other, and you have nearly forgotten how.

If you have been not talking to your partner for days, weeks, or even months, you are not alone. Many couples reach this stage before they decide to reach out for help.

Growing apart

You might not know when it started, but you and the person you love have been growing steadily further apart. The pain of being together, but separate at the same time can be almost too much to bear. To avoid the oppressive silence, you may have tried avoiding each other, but that only makes it harder when you are together. Not talking becomes a vicious cycle.

How couples therapy gets you talking again

In therapy with Dr. Tim Redman, you will learn to begin communicating anew with the one you love. In a safe, supportive environment you can begin to express yourself and open up to your partner. If you are used to not talking, articulating your feelings can be difficult at first. As you learn to communicate, however, you will find it more and more rewarding. During sessions with Dr. Redman, you will open a dialogue and proceed step by step to the point where you can talk to each other from the heart.

Everybody is different. In a relationship, differences between you and your partner may lead to friction and disagreements. It is important not to judge and accept your partner for who he/she is. Dr. Redman can help you let go of your desire to make your partner conform and guide you towards a life that is meaningful for both of you.

Attachment Styles

The relationship will be unbalanced if the partners have attachment styles that are unique or antagonistic. Each couple will have a way of expressing affection, demonstrating trust, communicating, and displaying concern. There will be disagreement and a lack of closeness as a result. And relational closeness – or the lack thereof – is not only sexual.  In therapy, we can explore these meaningful differences.
