I help you focus on your personal growth as an individual because it&#8217;s a foundational aspect of the overall relationship. It&#8217;s often the perceived lack within us that triggers the decay in the relationship.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>In relationship therapy, couples have an expectation around proving who is right and who is wrong when the relationship is failing. Factual truths are always biased based on personal beliefs. In most situations both perspectives of both partners are correct.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>In a typical relationship, each person comes in with different perspectives or world views on how things should be. These perspectives or views are ingrained from the time one is a baby and continues to develop and shape as one gets older.<\/p><p>Our basic subconscious relationship manual is installed through our observations as children from our primary caregivers. Now, if we have a couple with two different manuals on how relationships should be, what kind of outcomes would we expect? We tend to project these outcomes onto our partners. In most cases, these projections are an inner wounding of not feeling valued prior to the current relationship. Can our partners truly measure up to our own subconscious patterns of relating?<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>THE QUESTION WE EACH NEED to ask and BE truly upfront and vulnerable about in our conversations is:<\/h5><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>What do we truly desire in life? The majority of my clients want a sense of personal freedom. They often feel stuck and can\u2019t find solutions because they are doing the same thing over and over again.

She couldn\u2019t express this to Ashley, as most of their conversations ended up as an argument. So, why try!\u00a0 The magic was taken out of her life.\u00a0 Focusing on her own self-worth and making minor changes to how she perceived her life started making her feel more vibrant and excited for the day. Taking personal responsibility for her trajectory of herself led to the overall well-being of their marriage. Ashley had his role to play as well. His story of creating his business as the main focus is to be the provider and that was an important value for him.
