One Small Step for You, One Giant Leap for Your Relationship.

Overcome Low Self-Esteem in your Relationship

It feels like you put your partner’s needs before your own. You may be overly apologetic, putting pressure on yourself and putting them on a pedestal. Moreover, you feel very defensive, and as a result, you are settling for less than you deserve. This makes you sad, angry, and hurt. It might be someone else’s fault, but you are usually blaming yourself when things go wrong. Your partner looks at you and is no longer sure how to help. 

In our sessions I create a safe space for you and your partner to express yourself openly without hiding any facts or feelings.

Open communication between the two of you is a key to help soothe insecurities and start building trust. 

Together we explore any underlying issue that may be triggering feelings of low self-esteem. When you give yourself a chance to look into your partners’ eyes and let them see who you really are and how you really feel, you will realise it is worth it.

Seeing your partner open to supporting you can be an instantaneous motivator for change and gives you this warm feeling all over your body.

Heal unhealthy attachments and build a stronger relationship

Initially, your relationship was full of affection and acceptance. Lately, however, you experience too much distrust, dishonesty, and poor communication in your relationship. 

You distance yourself from your partner, because you are afraid your vulnerability and clinginess may be seen as weakness. 

Alternatively, you start fixating on your partner’s flaws to support your argument that you are not the right match for each other, as you feel you are losing your independence. These are all common concerns that couples counselling in Zug can help you work through together.

In our sessions, I support you in gaining awareness of how you act and feel in your relationship.

I use the empty chairs technique as an anchor to help you freely express your thoughts and reactions. The idea is to “speak” to the imaginary person or object sitting in the chair to work through any emotional blocks from the past. With my guidance, we use this technique to explore your emotional landscape and find new ways to approach and heal difficult situations from the past. A slow smile and a huge breath released as a result of this intensive exercise is the first step in learning how to separate seemingly inseparable patterns from the past, forming a healthier relationship with each other.

Create and maintain healthy boundaries.

Over the years, the invisible freedom that defined the space between the two of you has become hard to identify and acknowledge. There have been too many life changes and you both feel out of control and off balance. Being in a marriage or long-term relationship, raising children together and managing a busy work schedule has taken its toll on your relationship. Consequently, just as the two of you have changed, your boundaries evolved and changed over time. Couples counselling helps you come together again in a loving, sustainable way.

You deserve to live as partners not roommates.

Learning how to commit to your designated date night out or a night on your own with friends is essential for maintaining a happy, nurturing, strong and fulfilling relationship.

Mindfulness is just one of the approaches to help you enhance self-awareness and develop a here-and-now approach to your thoughts, emotions, and boundaries. 

By establishing a safe environment for you and your partner, we can develop strategies to renegotiate and re-build healthy boundaries in your relationship. 

Deepen your bond to smooth the path for more trust and acceptance.

Recognize and move past codependency.

You feel your partner has complete control over your life. They continue doing things for you or making decisions on your behalf without even asking you, as if you are a small child and they are the caretaker.

Codependency can throw a relationship drastically off balance. You often feel as if you fail to function independently. It feels exhausting and overwhelming.

Turn this urge to fix, control and save each other into an honest, trusted and open relationship dynamic.

The process of healing from codependency is complex but possible. One size does not fit all when it comes to it. If you are ready to find your own voice in a codependent relationship, I can support you in recognizing the damage codependency has on your relationship. By focusing on both your and your partner’s needs and goals, we can work together to create a more balanced relationship.

Change the future of your relationship and acknowledge something is wrong – don’t wait. The more you can identify your own feelings, the more you can begin to attend to your own needs and fix a codependent relationship.
