You might come for therapy because you've stopped wanting anything and can barely drag yourself out of bed; You might be so worked up about something you can't concentrate or sleep at night; Maybe you don't know what you want or don't want to want what you want. Maybe you cling to relationships that go badly. Maybe you place obstacles in your own way. Maybe you know what you want but are unable to pursue it. Maybe you feel guilty or worry that something terrible will happen. Psychotherapy and/or psychoanalysis can help. For more go to my website: http://www.btholfsenlcsw.com/
When I work with children I ask them to use a means of communication that suits their age like drawing, painting or clay . I have a collection of objects that less verbal children like to move here and there to say something about themselves. Some play with toys to create stories and characters.
Why Couples Therapy?: You aren't talking; You're talking, but it's always negative; You are afraid to talk; You withhold affection as punishment; You see each other as the enemy; You keep secrets; You contemplate (or are having) an affair; One has to control everything related to money; You feel neglected sexually.
