The Art of Putting LOVE in the Driver's Seat

How you keep your love/passion/connection in the forefront of your relationship (being the priority for your couple) is an art. Too often, couples focus on what to do with their fear/anger/disconnection. It is a matter of wrangling the reactive part into feeling safer, reassured, and more trusting through communication and connection.

You’re probably wondering whether you can keep your couple secure if you find yourself scared or disappointed frequently. Couples therapy with me teaches you how to be aware of how to get yourselves out of fear and back into love. Doing marriage counseling requires being committed to being conscious of when your reptilian reactive brain gets triggered as well as being aware of when your beloved’s does. We practice what to do in the safety of couples therapy.

Call me for a free initial consultation to see if we might want to work together to get your love in the driver’s seat and your fear in the backseat. It’s a challenge to move forward with awareness rather than your knee jerk reactions.

    “I will never leave you.”

    “I will never frighten you purposely.”

    “When you are in distress I will relieve you, even if I’m the one causing the distress.”

    “Our relationship is more important than my need to be right, your performance, your appearance, what other people think or want, or any other competing value.”

    “You will be the first to hear about anything and not the 2nd, 3rd or 4th person I tell.”
