Bringing the drama
Do you frequently express your anger in ways that you aren't proud of or wouldn't want your friends to see? Do you feel drained after?
Do you fight in an ugly way? Yelling, slamming, talking over each other? Cursing, blaming, walking out? Would you be shocked if you saw a video of yourself in that state?
It's important to avoid accusations, distancing and punishing behaviors. Would you like to get your point across without the damage ? Let me help you get unstuck.
Help
Maybe you wish you could control the intensity of the outbursts. Counseling can help you learn emotional management of yourself and different ways to solve disagreements. This in turn will lower tensions and secure your relationship.
Thoughts on relationship conflict
Frustration leads us to angry resentments and power struggles. Damaged trust. Different internal processing styles. Values. Parenting. Extended family. Finances. The kids. The pets. Housework. There are so many things to argue about.
It's true that some people argue because they need to be right about everything, however, most argue because they are genuinely trying to resolve something but don't know how or can't get their partner on the same page.
Bridges
I'll help you express your needs and frustrations without losing your temper. There are skills for that. During counseling you'll learn to let go. I'll show you ways to disagree without damaging each other. This is an area of expertise for me. From there bridges to real understanding can be built.
Please note, I work with anger but not with domestic violence.
