When we start a relationship, as a couple, both partners bring along all their unresolved issues, fears, hurts and expectations. There is a strong predispositiont to recreate abusive, neglectful relationships from childhood with our significant others. These old dysfunctional patterns become hard to differentiate from current emotional triggers. A stacking of emotions can occur whereby an event in a current relationship triggers the discharge of old feelings and reactions, creating a confusion of strong old hurts and new ones. If our emotions and reactions in a situation are excessive compared to the provocation, we are probably bringing up an old wound and couples counseling may be needed.

To be successful in relationships, we must also learn how to integrate our differences. When couples fall in love, differences are easily tolerated, and both work hard to please each other. However, as we become more familiar and the stresses of life take their toll, our best behavior is quickly eroded. Soon our little differences become annoyances and our predominant attachment style emerges. Couples commonly have different styles, which guides their attitudes and behaviors in relationships. We often attempt to change the other person to fit more comfortably with our own beliefs. This rarely works.

Relationships are one of the most challenging paths for achieving emotional growth. Few other experiences provoke the depth of our vulnerabilities, insecurities, and fears. The good news is that as the same time it gives us big opportunity for healing. With couples counseling in Denver Latino Counseling we will focus in learning to communicate, conflict resolution, and most importantly, to connect. Marriage counseling has helped several couples improve their relationships and build strong families.
