Relationship counseling in my Denver, Colorado, couples therapy and marriage
counseling practice:
    In our culture, we do not have formal education on relationships, communication, or
    parenting. Couples often do not have the  tools on how to relate to each other and
    parent children.

    Many problems in relationships stem from inexperience or difficulty with conflict.
    Family history has taught each partner different ways or rules of relating and
    dealing with conflict. For example, one partner's family may have yelled to resolve
    issues, while the other's family avoided conflict entirely. Each partner expects the
    other to automatically abide by these unspoken rules.

    In relationship, each person brings his or her own expectations and roles, often
    believing that these should be understood and accepted.  Couples counseling
    often starts with having the couple identify and establish mutually agreeable, new
    "rules of engagement", communication,  and  understanding their partner's
    temperament, expectations, and personality.

    Together we talk about each partner's vision of relationships and identify personal
    goals. What is important in couples therapy is to bring partners together, so they
    can grow and become allies rather than become alienated from one another. We
    work on issues of acceptance, intimacy, and sexuality, so that the couple
    understands and tolerates the relational mine-fields.

The challenge of infidelity in marriage counseling and relationship therapy:
    I help couples deal with infidelity in my Denver, Colorado,  mental health practice.
    An affair is a sign that the relationship is struggling and in trouble. It is not the affair
    that creates trouble, the relationship may already have a history of challenges.

    We look at what the affair is trying to say about the state of the endangered
    relationship. Why did the unfaithful go outside? What needs were not being met?
    These are examples of the hard questions each partner must ask himself or herself.

    Infidelity involves hurt, wounding and betrayal. The bulk of work is to regain trust.  
    Staying together requires the partner who has been betrayed can come to forgive,
    and the other to ask for forgiveness.

    Together we look at the history of wounding and mistrust in the relationship. After
    sorting out the reasons for infidelity, the couple will be able to decide whether the
    relationship is salvageable.
