Have you fallen into communication patterns that are shaped by silence, resentment or nagging? Perhaps you’ve been married or partnered for a while, and precious time that used to be reserved for your relationship is now allotted to work, children and other responsibilities. Or, maybe you’re going through a divorce and are seeking guidance on how to separate amicably. It may be that you’re considering getting married and want to clarify and process lingering concerns before you commit. Perhaps unresolved feelings are so built up that you don’t feel comfortable expressing yourself openly or don’t know how to have honest discussions anymore.
