Couples Counselling and Coaching
In the demands of everyday life, many couples find that they fail to communicate, resulting in frustration and misunderstandings. With Imago couples therapy, the ‘couple dialogue’ gives the couple an opportunity to be mirrored, be appreciated, and made meaningful and emphasized with empathy and empathy. This opens up an understanding of each other and creates an opportunity for development. According to the Imago mindset, this particular person is chosen as a life partner because this partner has the potential to provide the greatest opportunity for development and reconciliation with the past.
Behind repeated frustrations lie unmet needs. The therapist guides the process and acts as a kind of helmsman, helping the couple to uncover inappropriate survival strategies, habits and patterns. By testing small steps, the couple practice stretching and meeting their partner in these unmet needs. These small steps focus on caring actions, surprises, fun and enjoyable activities and visions for the relationship.
The desire for a thriving family is close to all of our hearts. However, the reality doesn’t always match the vision of a family in balance. Changing times and the ever-increasing demands of the environment for perfection in almost every area put pressure on many families, and for some, outside assistance will be needed.
We at Parterapeut Frederiksberg have extensive experience in treating family issues of various kinds. For example, these can include issues in
– complex families where the adults have different views on parenting,
– Families with young children, where life with young children is experienced as a dramatic change compared to life without children,
– families with different cultural backgrounds,
– families with teenage children
– Families who have fallen out and want to talk things through
– Families where social media and screen time threaten to ruin the good times
Several of our psychologists have specific family therapy experience and/or experience with several of the above themes.
How we react in a life crisis is highly individual. Some crises can be particularly challenging if your previous life experience and coping skills are not sufficient. In my experience, several crises often occur simultaneously. If serious life crises are not dealt with, it can lead to anxiety, depression or other mental illness.
The therapy is individually customized. In therapy, the experiences and emotions of the crisis can be explored and understood. This can help to relieve emotional stress, strengthen coping skills and promote personal growth and development.
