Couples
Stuck in the Same Argument?
How Couples Therapy Can Help You Rebuild Connection and Security
Being in a committed relationship can provide safety and security, however, all too often relationships can veer away from the connection and companionship that we all yearn for. We get into patterns with our partners where we find ourselves repeating the same argument over and over again. We don’t understand why we can’t get past this block to develop what we really want in our relationship; someone who accepts us, enjoys us, supports us, is present to us, works well with us and provides a sense of safety in connection.
At Collingwood Psychotherapy and Yoga Centre, we believe that we are all wired to connect. Using relational, attachment and trauma theories, we will work together to discover what is getting in the way of you being able to do this. We will find ways to understand and then actively transform these roadblocks to connection building a secure attachment between you. This requires active engagement from both of you - and the outcome is worth it.
Is one Person Unsure?
Couples Therapy That Supports Both of You
Often there is one partner who doesn’t think that therapy will help. We make every effort to hear the perspectives of each partner and to find ways to deepen your attachment to each other.
We are not referees or judges, but rather skilled listeners and relationship specialists, ready to notice the moments of connection that you may have lost the ability to attune to. We will help you start to make those small connections with each other that are the basis for building trust, interest, safety and intimacy.
We will help you find ways to work through conflict towards repair and forgiveness. We will work to deepen your respect for each other, your friendship, your ability to communicate freely and more understanding of the ways to interpret your partner’s efforts to repair with you.
What You Can Gain From Couples Therapy:
Connection, Growth, and Lasting Intimacy
Being in a relationship is an ongoing practice. It’s a chance to grow—not just as a couple, but as individuals. Deep connection doesn’t happen by accident. It takes attention, care, and the willingness to show up for yourself and your partner, even when it’s hard.
Couples therapy can help you:
-
Strengthen intimacy and emotional connection
-
Feel known, supported, and accepted in your relationship
-
Learn to depend on each other with trust rather than fear
-
Develop relational skills that support communication, repair, and respect
-
Reconnect with your sense of self while growing together
These are the outcomes we work toward—together. Not perfectly, but honestly. With real tools, emotional presence, and a shared commitment to healing.
Being in a relationship is an opportunity for growth, for developing intimacy and it requires a lot of effort, dedication and self-discipline to sustain it. Knowing how to cultivate close connection, support, being known and accepted, having someone to depend on and a greater sense of self are wonderful outcomes of couples therapy.
