WHAT IF ONLY ONE PERSON IS WILLING TO COME TO COUNSELING?
When your significant other is unwilling to come in for help for your relationship, it may be even more important for us to talk. By waiting for your partner to be ready, you are placing the future of your relationship in their hands alone. As a family systems therapist, I believe that that when only one person comes to therapy, a small change in that person can impact the couples relationship.

Talk therapy may lead you down a different path of forgiveness, healing, and deeper intimacy, if both partners are willing to work at it.Indeed, an affair does not have to mean the end of a relationship.

By the time you have decided to get married, you have had many serious conversations. However, it is wise to invest in an insurance policy…to make sure that you have had the opportunity to process differences and discuss viable compromises in important areas like money, spirituality, sex, parenting style, blending families, and division of labor. In my relationship counseling practice, I provide a safe, nurturing environment where important conversations lead to positive solutions.

At http://www.Cunninghamtherapy.com, Dr. Cunningham works on helping people learn new tools and apply new principles to their relationships that help them lead calmer, more satisfying lives.

Their successful effort to creatively problem solve and then compromise can strengthen a couples’ pride in their ability to weather a storm like a recession together and become stronger, not in spite of an economic problem but because of it! Whether in the context of economic problems or other problems, resilience is the ability to bounce forward, not just back!
