Couples therapy in English & Dutch to help you resolve the difficulties in your relationship.

The effective couples therapy of the Centrumpraktijk helps you to understand & resolve the problems you encounter in your relationship. When you lose touch with each other, when affairs are involved, when you have difficulty understanding or reaching each other or when major events have changed the relationship, etc. it is necessary to understand the underlying issues and learn to deal with them effectively.

Relationship problems

Relationship problems usually do not resolve themselves & it takes some effort & insight to learn to address them in a way that actually resolves the issues - and not unintentionally makes them worse. When dissatisfaction has grown, or when there is a lack of togetherness or rapport, when there is a lot of distance, or when there is fear of commitment, separation or abandonment etc., relationship therapy is an effective way to address your problems and the gain insights, handles and tools to understand each other & make the relationship work.

The causes of the problems in a relationship usually lies in poor communication and/or in the unconscious patterns of you and your partner. Because the underlying issues don't get resolved they keep on causing quarrels, distance, distrust & uncertainty etc., and often create a negative spiral that makes the relation & problems look worse than they may actually are. This can make it increasingly difficult to have a good time together and to regain a good connection & rapport.

Causes of relationship problems

In couples therapy you learn to communicate better and are helped to become aware of the patterns that cause problems and how to overcome & change them together. This enables you to understand yourself and each other better and to disentangle the mishmash of actions & reactions that cause difficulties, miscommunication, misunderstanding, arguments and/or distance, etc. This creates insight & clarity and you are better able to relate in a mature way, resolve your differences, develop a good relationship and really get through life together again.

Unresolved relationship problems

When the difficulties in your relationship are hard to resolve, it doesn't help to ignore them or to keep arguing about them. But if you lack the tools needed to change such a negative dynamic, it can seem that you don't have any other option than just to keep going. Despite all good intentions & efforts, a relationship can end up in a negative spiral that wears you out and finally ends up in a break up.

It can be very difficult to change such a pattern yourself, since these can be ingrained pretty deeply in an individual or in your way of relating. The effective couples therapy of the Centrumpraktijk helps you to resolve both the issues in your relationship & the individual issues that effect the relationship negatively.

Relationship problems & solutions

Relationship therapy gives you the insights you need to better understand yourself & each other, and tools that allow you to relate & communicate in new & better ways with each other and that enable you to resolve underlying difficulties and improve contact. The couples therapy helps you improve the overall quality of your relationship and deepen your relationship, even if contact has severely deteriorated.

More often then not a good relationship requires quite some work in order to develop real togetherness, intimacy & understanding, in the short term and in the longer run. And although the changes one person makes can improve the relationship, it takes two people to make it really work. Usually it takes effort & dedication from both partners to sustain & deepen the relationship in a way that is satisfying for both.

Couples therapy works

And even then it can be quite a challenge to find a way through the differences, changes, hardships & difficulties. Even when you really love each other, you can end up in arguments & irritations & start to experience distance & disinterest and live more and more separate lives. Without help it can be really hard to find the way back to the good old feeling of togetherness.

Couples therapy gives you the chance to work in an effective way on improving your relationship. This enables you to gain a deeper insight in yourself & a greater understanding of each other and to work on strengthening your trust & rapport. The couples therapy hands you the tools that enable you to solve your problems effectively and helps you to develop the skills needed to relate & communicate in a more balanced & mature way.
