You don’t have to wait for things to get better
You’ve treated it like your job- making others happy. You thought this is what would bring you fulfillment but instead, you feel more alone than ever. It’s hard for you to ask for help - after all, you pride yourself on being self-sufficient and taking care of others.
You feel invisible and like all you are good for is a paycheck. You find yourself having the same repetitive fights with your partner over and over again or worse yet, you are avoiding the topic in its entirety and it’s become a big pink elephant in the room leaving you both walking on eggshells. At times you sidestep the issue by changing the topic or by avoiding your partner by digging into work, hanging out on porn sites, escaping on the golf course, or zoning out on video games. At least there it feels good.
You sex life has felt non existent, with less or little to no sex. On the outside, it looks like you don’t care but in reality, it’s killing you inside. You know it’s time to get some outside help because you’ve tried to fix it on your own and nothing is changing. It sucks knowing that you have no one in your circle with whom you can actually open up and get support from. The problem is kept inside of you with nowhere to go.
It’s time to stop being alone
I help men who are struggling in their relationships discover where they do have control and then support them in identifying the changes which are needed, regardless of what their partner decides to do. They no longer feel like they are waiting for their partner to change and instead, recognize the power they have within themselves to shift the relationship.
Counseling that leads to Active Change
This kind of therapy is for you if you want to stop feeling dismissed or avoided in your relationship. I will help you have more revealing conversations with your partner to better be able to negotiate your needs. You will learn how to connect verbally with your partner both emotionally and sexually which creates better relating between the two of you. By tuning in to your partner at this deeper level you never miss the cues for closeness that they are sending you.
You too, become able to send clear messages to your partner that are inviting which draws you closer. When you meet each other’s deepest needs- being seen and understood- suddenly you are in flow together and your relationship becomes effortless.
