Couples Therapy - Bringing others into your appointments!

When I'm helping a couple, I'm not just in my office with the two of you, you've also unconsciously brought in the most influential people in your life; your parents, step-parents, grandparents, and anyone else who influenced you, both positively and negatively . The interactions you have with each other, and your children if applicable, are influenced by these past interactions. One of my roles as your couples therapist is to increase your awareness of this within your therapy, so you can make a conscious decision who you want to bring into your interactions with your partner.
