It is very difficult to seek help for most of us, and yet, the investment in your relationship, if it becomes compromised, can lead to untold consequences for the couple, the children, and the families involved. The more quickly assistance is sought, the less time to untangle errors. How to discern when to make that call? Do you suspect you or your partner are avoiding bringing up important issues? Are you avoiding bringing up issues yourself due to fear of what you will hear or what you yourself will say? Did you know this is a common, normal experience for those at the end of the first stage of their marriage? It often accompanies disillusionment and sometimes a sense of hopelessness.
Using a tried-and-true method of discovering what is wanted from the other is one of the first aims of relational repair and one of the many functions I perform.
The developmental approach is what I use to bring about a return to hope and teamwork.
