Couples Therapy When Your Partner is SO Stubborn

How can couples therapy possibly help when my parter is SO stubborn?

I’ve tried everything already. If they were reasonable, something would have changed.

Does this sound like you?

Have you and your partner already been through several rounds of couples therapy?

You’re at your breaking point.

Your relationship is hanging by a thread.

Why would working with me be any different?

In my work with couples, I start with something that everyone knows but few people talk about.

You’ve probably heard it before.

The only person you can change is yourself.

Yeh, I get it.

I don’t know your partner.

You’ve literally tried changing yourself.

It. Just. Doesn’t. Work.

Not with her.

Not with him.

Is that really all you have to offer?

No. There’s more.

The set of skills required for developing healthy relationships is comprehensive.

I promise you that you are not proficient in all of them.

It is highly likely that the areas where you are weakest are contributing to your partner’s stubborness.

Your ready to give up. You’re checking out. It feels like you just can’t do anything more or try anything new.

But why?

I know, I know, all the stuff that your partner has done.

But why is this where you feel like giving up?

There is a very precise answer to this question, and if you learn it, you will discover a new reservoir of creativity and relational freedom.
