A Therapist on the Sunshine Coast or a Marriage Coach for couples in a difficult time in their relationships is essential. One thing in common with them is that communication is a key element.
Communication with your Therapist
Successful relationships are built on good, healthy communication. For couples who have been experiencing issues in their relationship, a marriage coach not a therapist might provide the answer.
Although there are many problems a couple will face, learning how to effectively talk to your partner can solve most issues. Hence these can be worked out before they become threats to the relationship.
Connecting Talk on the Sunshine Coast
Effective communication in a relationship is sometimes called “connecting talk”. It is a form of communicating that establishes a deeper, more emotional connection. This will help couples get to the heart of issues that they are facing.
It makes you more open to how your partner feels and helps you see from their point of view.
When couples use this form of communicating, they share a broader range of information. Consequently, this includes their feelings, how they see themselves, their desires, and how they see you.
But this form of connecting talk is not always easy to establish. Mainly because it requires honesty and becoming vulnerable which takes courage to do.
How to Establish Better Communication as a Marriage Therapist on the Sunshine Coast.
To engage in connecting talk, there are a few things you need to do to set the stage for proper communication.
- Do not speak for your partner, speak for yourself
- Identify emotions that are difficult to express
- Voice issues without attacking your partner
- Understand that you see things differently on some issues
- Control your emotions, do not let them get the better part of you
- Share your own experiences that relate to the issue at hand
One key aspect is relating how you feel when your partner does something that you do not like. For example, instead of saying “you are never ready when you say you will be”. You should try “it is difficult for me when you are not ready when you say you will be”.
By relating how it makes you feel rather than blaming your partner, you open the communication. This way you can better understand why they do things that affect your emotional state.
Another method of effective connecting talk is starting a conversation with the phrase, “I really need your help”. Since it is natural for people to want to help their partner, it cuts down on the tension of the moment.
How to Begin talking to a Therapist Sunshine Coast?
Talking to a Therapist on the Sunshine Coast can be difficult. To build up this level of communication needs to start with something small. Like, sharing an embarrassing moment or perhaps relating to a time when you were alone or afraid.
Even sharing a happy moment that you want to relive again can help your partner see you in a new light. By sharing the small things first, you can open the conversation later when facing larger issues.
As with creating any new habit, it takes repetition. Starting with small, less personal issues first and building to bigger, more personal views later can create a path towards stronger communication.
Hence, when couples can openly and effectively communicate, that helps make big issues seem much smaller and far more manageable.
A Sunshine Coast therapist or better a coach like myself is there for couples who are having issues with their relationships. The coach or therapist can offer a comfortable setting and sound advice to help both of you use better communication methods.
Consequently, you can solve issues faster and create a deeper, more emotionally fulfilling relationship with a counsellor.
