Couple Therapy

 

Welcome to a Journey of Renewed Connection, Understanding, and Safety

Recurring conflicts?

Communication issues?

Feeling stuck?

Are you and your partner facing recurring conflicts or feeling disconnected? 

Do you get stuck in repetitive conflicts or experience a sense of emotional disconnection? 

Many couples face challenges that hinder their ability to communicate effectively or maintain intimacy. Lisa Fleming understands the complexities and unique dynamics that couples navigate. Her sessions provide a safe space for both partners to express themselves, explore underlying issues, and work towards finding common ground. Lisa Fleming offers a compassionate and tailored approach to Couple Therapy aimed at fostering enduring bonds and resolving conflicts, and improving safety in the relationship.

Lisa’s combination of empathy, knowledge, experience, and lack of judgement enable her to help people see and understand patterns and ways of reacting with kindness and warmth. This helps partners have compassion for both themself and each other. They can begin to increase distress tolerance, understand how they each get triggered, why they each react the way they do. and learn to break cycles of conflict.

Understanding attachment style

Why do we really fight?

By understanding one’s own attachment style and how our ways of reacting and responding in current relationships are shaped by our past, we can begin to understand how we react to our partner. We can learn what makes us feel safe and what sends us into defensive patterns, we can learn the stories that we tell ourselves after a fight about ourself and our partner are particular to us and are shaped by our past. Learning these patterns in ourselves and our partner can help us understand why we don’t feel safe and how we get into similar cycles with each other. We can learn to nurture the relationship so both people begin to feel safer and are more able to turn to the relationship rather than experience the relationship as a threat.
