Description
One of the most common complaints for couples seeking therapy is the loss of intimacy – that spark between partners that fuels the relationship. Surprisingly, the lack of feelings of connection often stem from having lost a sense of yourself as an autonomous individual. In fact, one of the number one things people say after a relationship ends is “I felt like I lost myself.” But what if the key to bringing partners closer together is actually the opposite – helping them each find themselves? In this session we’ll explore:
- Tangible tools for supporting couples in understanding the importance of differentiation in intimacy and what an interdependent model of relating looks like
- How gender socialization, patriarchal structures, and unaddressed issues of inequality are still impacting intimacy between couples
- How to practically help couples shift from codependency to interdependence in relationships by challenging and reframing our conceptualization of relational needs
