Counselling Couples Therapy Vancouver
"
In our opinion, love is the one force that is capable of
easing existential despair and the endemic pain of the human
condition. We feel that to develop emotionally, as well as
spiritually, one needs to learn how to love, to continue
to search for love throughout life, and to remain positive,
not become cynical or despairing when love fails." -
Robert Firestone and Joyce Catlett
Couples come to counselling because they are experiencing
relationship problems such as poor communication, conflict,
emotional distance, affairs, lack of trust and intimacy,
and sexual issues. I believe that relationships are the
ideal context in which individuals may confront themselves
and grow into fuller personhood. By taking both partners'
sides, I challenge them to draw on the best in themselves,
to look to the best in each other, and to learn to tolerate
a closer attachment. In this section, I present a detailed
description of my primary approach to working with couples,
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I then present a secondary
approach to working with couples, Voice Therapy, which
I use as an adjuct to EFT. The following headings provide an overview of this
