Kevin Bacon was once asked, “What makes your marriage last?” He didn’t miss a beat: “Clean fighting and dirty sex.” He has a point. The way a couple fights truly impacts their health and their relationship. There are additional influences that create disharmony between two people. Loss of connection, loneliness and conflict avoidance are all precursors to infidelity. I work with couples in crisis from the recent discovery of betrayal and/or past addictions and other relationship struggles. Healing won’t be easy, but it is possible. It’s a painful journey that will take time. I work to make that journey easier.
I offer client intensive marriage sessions. These sessions last for two five hour days. This has been shown to be more effective than therapy where sessions are spaced out, and it is effective solution to those who do not have time for weekly sessions. Upon completion of the intensive, couples then continue with “check in” sessions to ensure success.
Frequently couples say that they do not know their partner. When trauma or addiction is part of one’s present or past reality, connection fails to happen. The trauma victim or the one struggling with addiction keep others away. In therapy, we work with soothing the trauma, infidelity, and healing the wounds of addiction allowing connection to grow.
