                                       Rekindle Connection and Strengthen Your Relationship

My approuch is based on:

1. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, EFT is based on attachment theory and focuses on the emotional bonds between partners. It aims to create a more secure attachment by identifying and transforming negative interaction patterns into positive ones. EFT is highly effective for couples dealing with distress, helping to increase intimacy, trust, and emotional connection.

2. The Gottman Method

Created by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, this method is grounded in four decades of research on couple stability and divorce prediction. It focuses on disarming conflicting verbal communication, increasing intimacy, respect, and affection, removing barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy, and creating a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.

3. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Couples

CBT helps couples identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to relationship strife. It’s particularly useful for addressing specific issues such as jealousy, anger, and communication problems. By focusing on practical skills, CBT aims to change behavior and thought patterns that are detrimental to the relationship.

4. Narrative Therapy

Narrative therapy separates individuals from their problems, allowing couples to work together in tackling the issues. By encouraging partners to rewrite the negative narratives they have about their relationship, it promotes understanding and growth. This approach is especially beneficial for couples looking to overcome past conflicts and build a new future together.

5. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

SFBT concentrates on finding solutions in the present time and exploring one’s hope for the future to find quicker resolution of one’s problems. This method is goal-oriented and works well for couples who are looking for short-term counseling to improve specific aspects of their relationship.

6. Imago Relationship Therapy

Imago therapy focuses on transforming conflict into opportunities for healing and growth. The therapy helps couples understand each other’s feelings and childhood experiences that shape their behaviors and needs in the relationship. It’s particularly effective for couples looking to deepen their connection and understanding of each other.

7. Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT)

IBCT aims to accept the differences between partners and solve problems through tolerance and understanding. It’s beneficial for couples who have recurring conflicts, helping them to understand the underlying causes of their disagreements and to develop strategies for dealing with them constructively.
