This Gottman blog article describes how as we get older and busier, we may have to work harder to stay connected to our partners, and to other people close to use – https://www.gottman.com/blog/4-ways-to-stay-connected-during-life-transitions/. We are stressed during the day and tired when we get home. Going out or doing something with friends may feel like a chore, when we haven’t had the time to exercise or cook a proper meal. The article recommends the following four ways to stay connected:
- Schedule the time to be together explicitly
- Take turns tending to each other’s needs
- Develop rituals for connecting
- Forgive each other quickly
I work with individuals and couples as they move through various life transitions. Together, we examine the patterns that are working in their lives and the patterns that need to change. Counseling can help with the change process that is often more difficult than it appears. Brainspotting therapy has been transformational for my clients who are wanting to change old patterns.
Brainspotting Therapy with Elaine Korngold
I am a Certified Brainspotting Therapist and an Approved Consultant and would be happy to talk to you about Brainspotting. Brainspotting therapy accesses the genius of our deeper emotional brain. During the healing process I am fortunate to observe how intelligent, inventive, and intuitive all human beings are. Creativity is revealed through their resilience, survival, and recovery. The processing that occurs with clients focused on a Brainspot is deep, rapid, and unpredictable. During each session I wait for the surprise and I am rarely disappointed.
With your focused vision and my attuned presence and verbal guidance, emotional Brainspots can be released in a gentle and non-invasive way. There is no need to be in chronic emotional pain. Please text or email me for a free consultation.
