Radical Acceptance in Love Isn’t Settling — It’s Clarity.“I don’t want to just accept it.”When clients say this, what they usually mean is:• I don’t want to approve of it.• I don’t want to like it.• I don’t want to pretend it doesn’t hurt.• And I definitely don’t want t...

Every holiday season, I watch something very predictable happen in my therapy office.People don’t just get busy.They get activated.Christmas, New Year’s, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice — these aren’t just dates on a calendar. They are attachment amplifiers. They stir up old expectations about l...

This topic is dear to my heart, and I know there are a lot of folks out there that can relate and find this to be especially painful around the holidays. There is a rising trend of family cutoffs- and though this may be the appropriate solution in some cases, there are alternative solutions to consider for others.

Just remember: you are doing the best you can with what you have!

Cutting ties with family is a tough choice that carries hidden, often long-term and painful, costs. Explore the impact of family estrangement and some alternatives to total cutoff.

Our latest blog is about a few methods we offer at Cor Counseling and how they intersect- DBT and EFT:

When I sit with clients—whether couples or individuals—I often notice that their struggles share a common root: the longing to feel safe, seen, and loved, paired with the fear of losing that safety. It shows up in the silence after an argument, the spiraling thoughts late at night, or the impuls...

Awesome news!! Cor Counseling is now offering Emotionally Focused Therapy Couples Intensives! Want to know more? Read on...

You're a couple and you're stuck. Not just stuck- maybe you're even using the "D" word. Maybe you've already tried couples counseling, or maybe you haven't because you were hoping things would improve over time- and they haven't. You’re a smart cookie, too; you know the “wait and see” strategy isn’t great, but maybe things don't feel bad enough to do something as drastic as an Intensive.
​
Well, guess what? YOU are perfect for Cor Counseling. We have major success with couples that come to us before it’s “so bad you have to do something.” Yes, pain, conflict, anger, and/or chaos can all be ultimate motivators, but so is love. And you love your partner. Your partner loves you, too... you just don’t always feel it. Or maybe it's gotten so bad that you no longer believe in their love.

Wouldn’t it be nice to stop the pain, the confusion, the ineffective communication that often accompanies intense emotions?
​
Here at Cor, we truly get it. Your relationship is one-of-a-kind. It's complicated. And you won’t trust just anyone with one of the most important relationships in your life. You need a therapist that is well-equipped, in skill and in method, to work with couples. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) at Cor just may be what your relationship could use. We have a studied, tried-and-true process (EFT) to break through relational blocks that keep you from having the most secure, loving relationship possible. Our commitment to, and level of training in, EFT truly make Cor a natural choice. Plus, working with couples is our most rewarding work. And though we can't offer any sort of guarantee to save your relationship (that's up to you two), we can promise to give you everything we've got (skill, presence, compassion, experience, etc.)! With an Intensive format, you're likely giving your relationship a huge injection of repair and connection when you need them most- now.​

We offer EFT Couples Intensives in one-,two-, and three-day formats. Contact us now for more information!
