There was this guy who would not look at me. He sat in our session with his arms crossed, looking elsewhere. He admitted he was “irritated.” His wife was sitting there in tears, and through her tears, she said, “This is what it’s like for me! Now you know!” And the guy wanted to be sure I knew how much he was not interested in participating in our session.
When a person puts on a show of not talking and putting down “therapy” (even though I’m doing something radically improved over therapy right now), I take it to mean they are afraid to look at themself. All the complaints about therapy are a cover-up of that.
Here’s the question I did not ask him – but I’m asking you:
Do You Have the to guts to face yourself?Think before you answer.
Do you have what it takes to feel your feelings? To express your deepest wishes to your life partner? To actually see them — and yourself — as a human being and not as your obstacle?
If you do, you just might have what it takes to work with The Marriage You Want.
If you want instead to read yet another self-help book, spend hours complaining in therapy about your spouse, have weekly meltdowns, or continue cheating . . .
…this isn’t for you.
BUT…if you’d like to not only stop fighting, stop ignoring each other, but actually become best friends AND restore the passion in your marriage – and you have the guts to face yourself in the process, then book a call to speak to me.
But I must warn you: Working with me is not for those who’d rather complain than roll up their sleeves and do the sometimes difficult work of looking at themselves.
