Certain issues of relationship difficulties can cause probelms of depression, anxiety, emotional issues, and anger issues. As a relationships counsellor, Nancy Carbone has found that individuals respond to separation distress or fear of abandonment by re-enacting past ways responding to situations where they learned to protect themselves.
Resolve Relationship Difficulties
with Perth Relationship Counselling
Relationship difficulties can be depicted in the following ways. When a partner fears separation distress or abandonment, they often protest as a bid for the withdrawing partner to respond to them, to ward off these underlying feelings. They may come across as hostile to the withdrawing partner, who feels pushed away and cannot be there to comfort them the way they would like. The withdrawing partner feels attacked and shuts down to protect themselves from feelings of inadequacy. Each partner becomes stuck in their position, defending against these painful feelings, not able to see the other or themselves. When the emotions surface, they each get further locked into their defensive positions, creating rigid patterns of interactions and difficulties in the relationship, such as couples who are distressed.
Relationship counselling services and Therapy for couples assists those to see how these defensive patterns or strategies no longer protect them but work against them, causing difficulties in relationships. Breakdown in relationships occurs when the ways couples defensively protect themselves and their relationships usually get in the way, leading to collusive cycles of interaction which becomes stuck, creating an impasse. Couples reinforce their defensive patterns and stuck positions, until it leads to relationship breakdown or break up. In couple therapy, individuals become aware of how their behaviours impacts each other, so they can start to see each other and relate in new ways.
Nancy enables individuals and couples to overcome conflict or breakdown in relationships, so that they can be free to enjoy life and develop new ways relating.
