Couples Tend To Replicate Family Dynamic They Grew Up In

I work extensively with couples.

I’ve learned that sometimes couples replicate the family dynamic that they grew up in.

For instance, someone growing up in a family with intense fighting may choose to totally avoid conflict in their relationship.

This in turn may result in their partner feeling frustrated and seeing them as unavailable. The result can be a turbulent relationship with anger and fighting. Ironically, the relationship then feels like the very family they grew up with.

Conscious communication between partners attempts to circumvent this issue.

Therapy is a place to try new ways of speaking and listening. This creates a feeling of safety. Couples are able to experience satisfaction and happiness.

In doing this, couples create their own new family dynamic rather then recycling past patterns.

Through intensive couples training and certification through an organization called Relationship International, I provide specific techniques that help couples get results. This method is unique because partners speak directly to one another and the therapist supports the growth of the couple rather than the needs of one partner over another.

If you’re interested in couples counseling either virtually or in-person in Rockville Centre, NY, contact Jody Shelby 516-678-0313.

Comparing yourself to others can be a great motivator, but it can also be a dangerous trap. When you use a positive role model / mentor as guidance, you can gain momentum & examples in reaching your goal.

Benefits of Couples Therapy for Healthy Parenting

Couples who seek therapy often find it to be a great investment that teaches them how to improve communication & resolve conflict, which brings them closer together.

In counseling, you’ll be directed to ask yourself & your partner questions:

🔹What are our parenting values?

🔹What's important to us as parents?

🔹What kinds of rules do we want to enforce?

🔹What happens when our kids misbehave? Who will take the lead in discipline?

🔹How much of a role do you want family or friends involved in raising them?

Counseling gives parents a chance to get on the same page.

You’ll be able to talk about your family’s vision, how you want to approach decisions & how you want to spend time. A counselor can help you develop strategies for communicating your goals so that you both are heard & understood. Counseling is where you can unpack any existing biases / misconceptions that might get in the way of finding common ground.

It’s important for parents to have shared values / visions of how they want their family to work.

If one person wants one thing & another wants something else, it'll always feel like a compromise. If both share a similar dream, there are more opportunities for collaboration.

You’ll disagree on some things, but that’s ok, counseling can help you both stay grounded in what matters most.

Relationship counseling gives couples a chance to express feelings in a safe setting.

Some people have a hard time being vulnerable, which can lead to built up resentment, resulting in blowout fights or shut down communication. A counselor provides a space to say how you're feeling & will mediate to keep the conversation on track.

Going into therapy as a couple reduces stress for the family.

When parents are able to talk clearly & positively with one another, the entire family benefits from lower stress levels. The children living in the household then have a safe, calm place to grow up.

What Brings You Joy?

Experiencing inspiration and creativity is part of the process of reducing anxiety and depression.

Often times, people become out of touch with what’s genuinely exciting and interesting to them.

We get lost in the demands of modern day life. Pressures of work and family. We forget about what really makes us tick and energizes us.

Clients sometimes need help with identifying what brings them true joy. In getting in touch with experiences of joy, clients are able to incorporate them into daily life. Even if just a few moments a day. This helps clients feel more grounded. It also fuels their energy so that they feel more fulfilled and resilient.

I have over 20 years of professional experience and specialize in couples/marital therapy and relationship/family problems.

Since attaining Post Graduate Training at New York University, I expanded my expertise in couples counseling by becoming a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist. In addition, I became a life coach in order to help my clients realize their goals.
