The Looking Glass Relationship therapy with your partner may not always be easy. But it may not be as frightening as you think.
The disappointment that a relationship that was supposed to be forever and the most beautiful, isnt working out, itself is a big emotion to deal with. To work on it can mean opening a can of worms that you feel afraid to do. It is understandable.
It is unrealistic to think that two people will live together and not have differences or friction between them. We all do things that may irritate, infuriate, and hurt a partner.
Some of the worries that my clients have shared with me, and you might have, are:
- If you would have to share and say more than what they are ready to, in front of your partner
- You would be judged and compared
- You might be asked to separate even though you do not want to, or stay together when you do not want to
Here’s what I can say. It is best if you could come before you reach the crisis state with the threat of a separation hanging on your head. But it is still good to come at any stage. It isn’t possible to see the situation from inside it. A therapist is an unbiased catalyst, to help open the communication, to learn new ways to get to know each other.
Even if the relationship might have reached a point of no return,with therapy, it is easier to be graceful and let go without breaking down. To have made the right effort and given up lets you make peace with it faster, and deal with the trauma with ease.
