Relationships always require effort and thought, and can be especially challenging with the added stress of one or both parties being foreign or new to Germany, especially once children come into the picture! Couples counseling can help couples learn to communicate and manage conflicts better, bridge emotional disconnection, build shared meaning, improve sexual intimacy and recover from affairs or external events.
Counselors in the Praxisgemeinschaft offer different styles of couples counseling. Andreia, Paul, and Brenna offer integrative couples counseling, while Jennelle and Elizabeth provide Couples Counseling according to the Gottman Method, a method based on research with over 3,000 couples over 40+ years. The research focuses on what elements makes relationships last or fail. This method is designed to give couples specific tools to deepen friendship and intimacy in the relationship. To help couples productively manage conflicts, we teach methods of managing “resolvable problems” and dialoguing about perpetual issues. We work together as a team to build appreciation for the relationship’s strengths, to gently navigate through its vulnerabilities. Unique to the Gottman Method, is the positivity that the therapy brings out in the couples relationship: it’s about shared meaning making, not about pointing the finger.
