The rewards of couples work are extraordinary.
We can stay in survival mode, just tolerate, or even be generally ok. Or we can let go of self-criticism, blame, and shame, and learn a whole new compassionate relationship for ourselves and our partner. Living and embracing the full experience of energy, excitement, and passion, we find our healthy, authentic selves together with our partner.

How we work in Online Couples Counseling
As Online Couples Co-Counselors, we are here to support you no matter where in the world you are located. We go beyond traditional talk therapy by incorporating essential somatic elements.
We are two; therefore you will benefit from two sets of experienced eyes to deepen the effectiveness of your work.
In our couples counseling sessions, we use a broad range of different methodologies from body psychotherapy, embodied relational therapy, systemic work, R.A.I.N. Practice, body practices (yoga, breathwork, Qigong, embodied meditation) to mindfulness, to help you deepen your awareness of where you are in the relationship and what you need to live more fully as an embodied and feeling human being (Body-Mind-Spirit/Soul Approach).
Our body-based couples counseling is based on the assumption that body and psyche form an inseparable unit and that our body is the direct line to our often unconscious drives. As such, working with the body is a critical complement to the talking/analysis component.
An essential idea in our approach is working towards a release of chronically held muscular contractions that have built up from difficult situations in our lives. We teach ways to become more aware of the physical sensations of these blocks. Building on this, we support embodied expression to release these contractions, thereby allowing unexpressed emotions to find their healthy flow again.
We combine an experiential dialogue that weaves together your personal history/story with the physical/somatic component of that story. You learn important skills of body awareness and movement, critical to changing our thinking and behavioral patterns and moving on.

Our sessions are a laboratory/practice place for building awareness to your ongoing dynamics and communication (verbal and nonverbal) and how they reflect your everyday challenges as a couple.
We focus on allowing and encouraging a full expression of all feelings from a non-judgmental place and holding a safe space for the vulnerability that arises from this. By accessing the wisdom of your body and learning how to be in connection from a vulnerable space, you will gain more lust for life.

Our biggest longing is to be in connection
|
Connection to ourselves, to others and to life. If we don‘t dare to take the risk to allow ourselves to be seen in our incompleteness, imperfection and brokenness in the relationship, we will not be able to experience the full range of our humanness. Rather than be defended, you will learn to see your faults as opportunities, even while you embrace and accept those imperfections.
