There are three reasons that most people get divorced and they are conflict, irretrievable breakdown in the relationship and arguing. What ends up happening in a relationship and around conflict is mistakes that are common across the board. A lot of people want to let it go when conflict arises instead of working through it. What ends up happening is an argument is revisited over and over again because it was never dealt with properly in the first place.
We help you uncover what is underneath the argument in conflict so that you can come to a negotiation or compromise in your relationship. We know that each person and even as a couple there are different value systems played out and we help you dig deep to find what those all are in how you can work together to find a compromise.
Trying to fix the other person or change their perspective does not work out very well and in fact it has less than 50% chance of success. There is usually a butting of heads because of the differing perspectives. We help the couple instead flesh out their point of view so that they can adopt the partners for a moment and suspend their own. We find that this helps couples understand each other better.
If you find yourself raising your voice to be heard or understood in the relationship you are probably finding no success without either because that is another mistake that couples make when it comes to conflict. What ends up happening is one partner becomes quite defensive and can cause them to go into a fight or flight mode and again the conflict is not work through and it just builds resentment.
