Tune Your Relationship

Tune Your Relationship F2F sessions in West Perth and online therapy. 'Who we hang out with'

We are exploring how we cope with emotional intimacy in relationships.

Mariyon's sole practice 'The Listening Guide' works as an experienced psychotherapist/counsellor specialising in individuals, couples as well as facilitating group learning about our inner worlds. Our primary relationship is with the person we hang about with most – that’s us – and learning what it is we attract in others is really good for improving our relationships with others. Understanding what we mean when we say 'I love you' and the promises we are making that underpin that. Close relationships depend on the quality of everyday interactions, and for all of us it’s the balancing of two things: wanting connection and belonging, and wanting to be individuals making our own decisions i.e. autonomous (wanting to clarify that the discussions are based on the assumption of one-on-one relationships/friendships, not issues with multiple intimate relationship at any one time which have their own challenges). The workshops that are held are led by Mariyon and will allow some deep conversations around issues that matter to our lives. Our close relationships and how we can bear emotional intimacy.

How quickly do people move on after a relationship has ended?

I think for most of us, it takes a long while to even accept the ending. In my recovery after divorce group there is a huge variety of ways that people move on - some just cant wait to get into another relationship, some people take several years to work out who they are by themselves. From running this group for 10 years, I have seen so many people (even after 10 years) acknowledge that the break down of their primary love relationship DOES actually need active working through. That's the work I've done as a facilitator of that group but also use those skills when I'm helping therapy clients work through breakdown of a relationship. Particularly difficult when there's been an infidelity and the person you thought you knew is not that person after all.

My website tuneyourrelationship.com.au has a list of the courses I run.

As the WellDoing article talks about; it is actually not that realistic to stay friends with an ex - for most people.
"The extent of the loss is not always known at the outset when the relationship ends. Relationship loss is the obvious one, but the less obvious ones can include things like plans, hopes, dreams, etc. that you had shared. Understanding the extent of the loss and the different sides to it takes time, as does coming to terms with it and then regrouping to start a different life.

You may not initially want to believe that the relationship has ended. As you progress to the next stage, there will be anger and sadness. You or your partner may even try and think of different ways that you could make the relationship work. The sadness of the relationship ending will eventually settle in. There may be tears and feeling down. Depending on your ability to cope with loss, the circumstances of the relationship ending, and a range of other factors, you eventually start to accept that the relationship is now over, and it is time to move on.
Given the history of the intimacy in the relationship, it is also possible that one of you is still in love with the other and may not want to let go and that this may be the reason that you want to keep them a part of your life. The “friendship” you want to keep in this case may be an excuse for keeping the relationship."
