Right Relationship

Right Relationship Counselling and perspective on relating and relationships in their various forms. Human beings are relational creatures. We are wired for connection.

Right relationship is a concept that refers to a way of relating that is respectful and honours the integrity, dignity and sovereignty of the other. When we meet each other and the world around us with these qualities then we are in right relationship. To be in right relationship we must first heal our trauma, foster connection, sharpen our values and embrace deep integration and embodiment in our

selves. We must learn to love and respect the natural world we live in. Through our bodies we come to know feeling and love, joy, pain, sorrow, ecstasy and grief and all the wild experiences of being alive and in relationship. It's through our bodies that we arrive at wholeness and healing. I offer integrated relational counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples. I also run workshops and intensives on relationships and relating. Great relationships are your birthright. I can help you resolve relationship difficulties, find safety and connection within yourself and with others, learn to relate deeply with your entire being, and resolve traumatic obstacles that block deep and whole connection. I work with you to change relational pattens, develop resources and gain insight into the nature of your connections. My work is body-oriented, sex-positive, inclusive of all genders, orientations and ethnicities.

1. Happy (belated) greetings of the Autumn equinox!

Whenever there is relationship conflict or rupture, repair at the earliest possible opportunity.

Ruptures that linger for days will fester like an untreated wound.

Un-repaired conflict works its way in to your long-term memory and colours how you view the relationship and will accumulate into a list of hurts and wounds.

You will come to believe that conflict and rupture define the relationship.

Repairing as soon as possible prevents long-term memories of conflict forming. It's also easier as it feels like less of a gulf separating you from your partner needing to be closed.

Being ATTUNEd means:

AWARENESS of emotions: you acknowledge each other’s emotions and look to "see" them. Without "seeing" an emotion you can't turn towards it.

TURNING towards emotions: In short, this means talking about it! You show that not only do they see your partner's emotion, you care about it too.

TOLERANCE of emotions: this means accepting that this is how your partner feels and that it's their reality (even if your own reality differs). It doesn't mean taking on their emotion but acknowledging that it's their experience.

UNDERSTANDING emotions: this trying to figure out *why* your partner feels the way they do. Instead of trying to correct them, provide advice or change their feelings, enquire as to what's happening underneath the feeling.

NONDEFENSIVE to emotions: this means not reacting, not becoming defensive or lashing out. If you really need to respond, ask first.

EMPATHY to emotion: means truly understanding your partner's emotions. If you've followed the previous steps there's a good chance you're already feeling empathy. Empathy is tenderness towards the emotion.
