What brings someone to Couples Therapy?

Betrayal
Angry or resentful partner
Low-sex or no sex
Infidelities
Emotionally cold or disconnected partner
Inability to forgive
Differing beliefs and values
Gaslighting

What does Gaslighting look like?

Gaslighting is emotional abuse. It involves an intentional manipulation and distortion of the truth to make you think, feel, or behave in a certain way. Over time you begin to question your own reality and perceptions, making it easier to be controlled and led into abusive situations.

What does Betrayal Trauma look like?

While no one can prepare for the painful trauma of betrayal, we want to provide you with the necessary steps to heal. Betrayal violates trust and that violation can have an impact on all your other relationships.

What are the symptoms?

Shame
Embarrassment
Low self-esteem
Confusion
Loss of identity
Inability to trust instincts

UNDERSTAND. HEAL. THRIVE.

Understanding your particular attachment style can be an important step in learning how you relate to others in a relationship.

The Four Attachment Styles were first developed in the 1950s by Mary Ainsworth and John Bowlby.

Secure: a secure person can build healthy and long-lasting relationships

Anxious: an anxious person can be preoccupied with their attachments, often gravitating to relationships that are high in drama and low in trust

Avoidant: an avoidant person may fear commitment, often finding themselves in relationships with more distant attachments

Fearful-avoidant: this type of person is often drawn to close relationships but tends to be fearful of them

We’re here. We can work with you to improve your
relationship. Getting to the bottom of things can make
for a long and healthy partnership.

At Modern Therapy Group, we specialize in the Gottman Method, a proactive and therapeutic approach to Couples Therapy, created by John and Julie Gottman. This research-based technique begins with a thorough assessment of the relationship. Additionally, we integrate the Sound Relationship House Theory into treatment. A strong “friendship system” is crucial to building and sustaining a positive connection. The Gottman Method can increase intimacy, dislodge harmful barriers, and create a heightened sense of empathy for both partners in the relationship.

Knowledge of each other’s inner worlds will make your relationship more fulfilling and will also make it more resilient to weathering storms.
