When couples say communication in relationships is their primary problem, they are missing opportunities to truly learn to understand each other. Often, there are underlying emotions that drive “communication issues.” Unfortunately, we are not always aware of the underlying emotions for ourselves or our partner. This can create a frustrating and repetitive cycle of misunderstanding. Take time to get to the root of you and your partner’s fears and longings in the relationship- once you do this, surface level misunderstandings will take on a whole new meaning, and thus, you’ll have the insight necessary to uncover the path toward repair and connection. This can be difficult without the guidance of an experienced professional. Reach out to Dr. Amy Provan, or her associate, Dr. Julia Heavner, today to get started on your issues and begin a journey toward connection and healing.
