Every relationship has its own unique challenges and strengths. Couples counseling attempts to help both people see the relationship in a more objective way. Instead of blaming each other, the couple can understand the motives behind their behaviors and learn to respond in more productive ways.
However, couples counseling involves more than just gaining insight. In counseling, couples are asked to improve their interactions and help their partner express private feelings more effectively. When a person feels safe, they are more likely to communicate what they are thinking and feeling. If they fear being rejected or criticized, they will keep their feelings to themselves.
Many people have experienced a negative reaction from others when they said something that was misunderstood. Receiving an unkind or unreceptive response makes people feel like they aren't free to communicate openly with another person. The result of not sharing these feelings is emotional distance.
By minimizing the fear and increasing the sense that they are in a “safe space,” couples can improve their connection with each other. One benefit of an improved connection and a “safe space” is improved intimacy. Many couples come to counseling with a list of what is wrong. This negative narrative makes it difficult to see what's right. Couples therapy is not all about problem areas; it is also about the couple’s strengths. These strengths can be promoted to build resiliency in the couple's relationship.
Neurofeedback is a form of neurotherapy that trains your brainwaves to achieve a healthier state – kind of like exercise, but for your brain! Neurofeedback uses EEG technology to measure your brainwave activity and offer you feedback on your performance in real time, through visual and/or auditory cues from videos or games. Neurofeedback has been used to alleviate symptoms for conditions such as PTSD, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, addiction, depression, and more. In addition, it has also been used to improve performance and enhance one’s overall wellbeing.
The BLAST Technique (Bi-Lateral Analysis and Stimulation Treatment) is a technique that speeds up the process and efficacy of PTSD and trauma for a more efficient experience for the client and therapist by utilizing the brain’s natural processing systems, like the amygdala.
