What Makes Relationships Successful?
According to John Gottman, a researcher who studied heterosexual and same sex couples for 40 years, happy relationships are characterized by dialogue, positive affection, and emotional attunement. They are committed, trusting, have shared values, and manage conflict well.
​
So, how can you rekindle these fundamental elements in your relationship? It may seem out of reach, but the research shows that couples who are committed have the ability to repair and enhance their connection.
Rebuilding trust after an affair
Rebuilding trust after an affair is a delicate and challenging process that requires time, patience, and consistent effort. It involves open and honest communication, genuine remorse, and a commitment to change. Couples therapy is a valuable source of support in navigating this difficult journey, helping both individuals to address underlying issues and develop a stronger, more resilient bond.
Together, we will process this crisis in your life, make meaning of this experience, and support you in moving forward towards a better future.
Couples therapy creates a safe and supportive space for meaningful conversations and deep vulnerability. It helps partners attune to each other’s emotions, fostering trust and connection. Our goal is to guide couples in staying present during difficult discussions and uncomfortable emotions—encouraging understanding instead of withdrawing or reactivity. By doing this inner work together, partners can navigate challenges and cultivate deeper intimacy and lasting growth.
