Relationship Counselling Perth
Strong, healthy relationship can be one of the best supports in your life. Although I must stress being in a relationship doesn’t mean you are complete. Some people seem to think this is the case.
It’s sad to think we are not choosing to be happy now. Others don’t make us happy, it is a choice and this choice is ultimately up to the individual. We get the best relationships once we have a healthy relationship with ourselves, we can help you achieve this with Couples Counselling in Perth.
Lynne Foote often hears people say: “Once I’m in a relationship, I will be happy”
Good “adult” relationships improve all aspects of your life, strengthening your health, your mind, and your relations with others. However, if the relationship isn’t working, or the couple are not coming from the “adult” it can in addition be a tremendous drain.
Relationships are an investment. The more you put in, the more you can get back. It takes two committed adult individuals, I say “adult” because I see many come to relationship counselling expecting the counsellor “To Fix” him or her. Hence this is not coming from the adult, it’s that inner child, with arms crossed, saying it’s his/her fault.
It is vital that we acknowledge the old limiting thought patterns, if we don’t we cannot make the individual changes each wants to better the relationship. Contact us today, we provide expert confidential relationship counselling.
How Texting Can Ruin Relationships
It’s Not About Being Right or Wrong
It’s about how I can do better to get the relationship with myself healthier and therefore a healthier relationship with my partner.
Individual personal growth is one of the best investments you can make. As you can see relationship counselling is extensive therefore it takes commitment, time and hard work on so many levels. The process takes as long as it takes and the benefits are enormous.
Put A Spark Back Into Your Relationship
Relationships can become a bit like an old comfy pair of slippers, we take each other for granted and it can feel stale or feels like something is missing. Many couples come in feeling empty, or feel a sense of loss, lack of spark.
Every couple’s story is unique, and it is interesting to watch the transformation when asking the couple; what was the relationship like when they first met?
It is helpful to remember your love story, many couples focus on what isn’t working rather than what is, this is one of our aims with relationship counselling.
By Asking Some Of The Following Questions You Will Bring The Spark Back:
✓ What did you do on your first date?
✓ What attracted you to your partner?
✓ How different was the way you communicated with each other?
✓ What were your strengths when you first dated?
✓ What kind of activities do you enjoy doing together?
These couple of questions help us remember the connection we had when we first met, ultimately we want what we once had. The spark is usually still there we want to ignite it. Revisiting a place where you have special happy memories, or listening to music that you both like or being more creative in the bedroom.
Women, let the inner sexy goddess out and let all inhibitions go.
Men, communication helps emotional connection and this, to women, can be as good as foreplay.
Studies show that most of us crave lots of teasing and tantalizing but most importantly variety and this is certainly a way to light your fire.
