Is it worth seeing a relationship counsellor?
Topics:
|Relationships are fundamental to our wellbeing. So if you're struggling with relationships in any domain of life seeking the support of a relationship counsellor with specialist training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is worth considering.
EFT is grounded in the science of relationships and adult attachment, providing a map to help you navigate the challenges of relationships, and relationship distress to create relationships that work. By helping you go deeper into understanding yourself, others in your life and the dynamics of your relationships, you can find lasting solutions, to ensure your relationship is strong, no matter what life brings your way now or in the future.
There are many reasons we might see a relationship counsellor. To me the most important is in finding hope that life might be different. If you find a relationship counsellor that has completed accredited training in Emotionally Focused Therapy with a trainer accredited by the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT ) they are more likely to understand the relationship dynamics and what gets in the way of connection.
We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wound – the strength to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise. - Caroline Myss
