Mindful
Psychotherapy with couples seeks to:
Provide a realistic
assessment of where things stand in the relationship.
Open blocked
communication lines and establish respectful dialogue.
Identify "hot
spots" or areas of intense conflict in the couple and create
fresh strategies to de-escalate discord and establish positive
outcomes.
Establish what
the relationship is worth to each partner - what each would be
willing to do or change to keep the relationship alive.
Create a Relationship
Mission Statement to illuminate priorities and form a template
from which decisions in the relationship are made.
Explore how family
of origin roles affect how conflicts arise and are managed in
adult relationships.
Discuss how issues
of betrayal/trust can be resolved to establish a climate of mutual
integrity in the relationship.
Change your
mind. Change your life.
