Couple relationships have a very unique way of surfacing childhood issues. This is largely related to how human beings form their relational framework in childhood, which tends to also resurface within intimate relationships later. If you are noticing that you feel very powerless, helpless, withdrawn, or out of control in your relationship, you may be experiencing some resurfacing of childhood issues that are impacting your interactions with your partner. Couple therapy can be helpful to feel grounded, supported, and present in your relationship. This can largely be done through reflection, psychoeducation, processing (and reprocessing), and psychodrama. Couple relationships are a very powerful container for healing when it comes to childhood wounding. I can help you and your partner work towards establishing safety and trust, as well as building guardrails for how to show up well for each other in the midst of childhood pain. Let's find a way for your relationship to facilitate healing from your childhood instead of repeating it.
