Treat couples and relationships
Do you think you might benefit from couples therapy? Read on
to understand more about relationship counseling, how it can help you and your
partner recover and grow, and more. Christina is a counselor for couples in
Samford Valley serving Brisbane Northside.
Meanings of relationships
Meaningful relationships are where we get the greatest joy
as humans. Just as tribal creatures, our ability to be vulnerable and
communicate with another person goes to the heart of what we yearn for in life.
Creating meaningful relationships isn't always easy. This is
because our brains have evolved to help us survive. It's easy to get involved
in the fears and anxieties of modern life when we have glossy social media
posts, unrealistic romantic films and societal expectations around us for
comparison. Thus, our minds constantly check "Am I good enough?" And
"Do I agree with the tribe?"
Moreover, even literature always gives a picture of good
luck after Hasret's death. So what can we expect in a happy relationship? What
is realistic in today's world?
Treatment-based evidence
the Gutman Institute have been
researching and collaborating with researchers in relationships around the
world for the past forty years. What emerged is a strong understanding of what
makes a successful relationship “masters of relationships” and what happens
when relationships fail - “disasters of relationships”. This research is used
by trained healers from Gottman to help couples develop the skills they need to
create satisfying relationships in their lives.
The Sound Relationships House framework was developed by Dr.
John Gutman and Dr. Julie Gutman Schwartz as a result of this research. This
framework includes data from studies for thousands of couples including
longitudinal studies (over several years), including couples from all walks of
life. Sound Relationship House provides a great blueprint for creating
meaningful healthy relationships.
Help the couple recover and move forward
Christina has been trained in the Gutman Method for Couples
(Level 3), an evidence-based Couples Therapy supported by 40 years of research.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy provides:
- Proven strategies and tools to help couples successfully manage conflict
- Skills that enable partners to discuss their worst problems
- Ways to help couples heal their fights and heal their wounds
- Techniques for couples to deepen intimacy and reduce relapse
If you want to know how to get to know your partner's inner
world, create passion and admiration for each other, maintain a positive
perspective, find dreams within a conflict, create a common meaning and support
the dreams and aspirations of others - working with a relationship can help the
therapist help you in developing the skills needed to build House of sound
relationships.
Appreciation
Couples therapy begins with a three-course comprehensive
assessment to understand your unique situation. Starting with completing an
online evaluation (approximately 90 minutes each), the results are sent to
Christina for analysis. This is followed by a joint session with Christina to
understand your problems and how they have evolved over time. Next there are
individual interviews with each partner. The final stage of the evaluation is a
detailed feedback session with collaborative planning for the intervention
phase. At this point, we determine the frequency and duration of the sessions.
