COUPLE’S COMMUNICATION

Do you sometimes feel like you and your partner are from different planets?

Are you having trouble getting your partner to hear and understand you?

Do you keep having the same fights over and over again without resolution?

If you answered yes to any or all of these situations, Couple’s Communication skills therapy can work for you.

We learn how to communicate from our family of origin. If one of your parents was a screamer or highly critical, you may surprisingly hear the same words coming out of your mouth. But of more importance is your own individual personality style. Have you ever taken a personality questionnaire, either on line of for work? Our personality type is based on the well known works of Dr. Carl Jung, further researched and implemented into a Type Indicator known as the Meyer’s Briggs Type Indicator. How we take in information and process it, and how we interact with others, effects how we communicate. There are 16 different types, all with their own strengths and weaknesses. There is no “right type”. When we understand our own type and the type of your partner, it becomes easier to communicate and accept the differences.

I have been trained and certified in the administration and interpretation of the MBTI, and have used it successfully with many couples over the years. I also have experience working with National Marriage Encounter, and use many of the exercises and philosophy to train couples in how to communicate.

If you are angry and frustrated with your partner’s inability to “hear you”, and would like to learn more about working with an “interpreter”, call today for more information and an appointment.
