Therapy for Couples in Gilbert, AZ & Online
Have you ever felt so distant & lonely in your relationship that it physically hurts? Maybe you try to communicate your emotions, needs & concerns with your partner but you always end up in the same spot - stuck, so you walk on egg shells so that you can try to avoid the same argument you have over and over again. And it's a shame, because it really felt like you once loved each other deeply (butterflies and everything), but now it feels like there is a giant wall that separates you. It feels like you don't even matter and you are simultaneously too much and not enough to the one person you thought was your ride-or-die.
Or maybe it feels like you've given up hope of ever being happy in the relationship because it's been hard for so long; you just want peace. But no matter how hard you try, you can't ever seem to get it right in the eyes of the person that you love so infinitely. You care so much but you partner doesn't believe you when you say so, even though you've tried everything you know to convey that you do.
You aren't alone. Emotionally-focused couples therapy can help!
Couples therapy is ideal if...
The pain of an affair runs deep. After your partner is unfaithful, you may feel lost in waves of betrayal, confusion, anger, and grief, wondering if trust can ever be rebuilt or if connection can truly return.
If you are the partner that betrayed, you might feel wracked with guilt & shame, wondering if you can ever repair the damage that you have done to the relationship.
Together, we can gently attend to the wounds from the rupture, rebuild emotional safety, and create a path forward - if that is desired.
Dr. Stan Tatkin
Using the power of EFT developed by Dr. Sue Johnson in the 1980s, I can help you restructure your relationship dynamics to ultimately promote a deeper understanding and sense of connectedness with one another.
EFT helps couples feel safe enough to tackle anything - no matter how big or small - because couples are sure in being able to emotionally find their way back to one another again.
With EFT, emotional safety and security becomes the foundation of the relationship, letting all walls that kept you from each other crumble.
I've been on the other side of the therapy couch with my own partner. I thought our marriage was over and not able to be saved. And bit by bit, piece by piece, EFT helped us find each other again.
I'm not going to lie, it was (and is) really hard work. But it was the kind of hard that gave us back something softer - safety, understanding, a sense of peace in both mind & body, and a way to reach for each other again no matter the circumstances.
