the importance of Relationship work
If you are like me, you have realized that the key to navigating the complexities of a relationship is to address and grow from within. Without this essential step, the relationship inevitably face challenges.
You know that the person you are with is the one; however, you also recognize that relationships take work. They are not easy, and there are times when the actions of your significant other gets on your nerves. Am I right?
I get it; that love haze is THICK. But when the fog clears and reality sets in, you want to ensure that you and your partner have built a strong foundation. This begins with doing your own inner work, understanding yourself and your partner on a deeper level.
Many people spend hours planning for the wedding day and very little time planning for the actual marriage. Whether you are in a committed relationship, engaged, or newly married, coaching can help you explore the important questions. Yes, you may be compatible with your significant other, but considering the lifelong commitment ahead, there are important matters that should be explored.
A well-built structure needs a solid foundation, and that is what we will work together to create.
Which is better? Counseling or Coaching?
This really depends on you.
Counseling is a form of therapy where you meet with a trained professional. They will usually look at your past and link it with current issues that you may be presently experiencing. Working with a counselor is great if you are trying to overcome trauma or heal past pain. There are many benefits of counseling such as learning healthy coping mechanisms as well as managing difficult emotions. If you know that you would like to delve into past hurt or harm then I suggest connecting with a counselor. Take the time to find someone who you feel comfortable with.
Coaching is focused on where you want to go as opposed to where you have been. While we may discuss past fears or trauma, our aim is to focus on the future by coming up with a plan to help you reach a goal. Coaching gives you a safe place to come to a deeper level of understanding and helps you gain perspective on sensitive issues. Coaching gives you the tools to become aware of what may be holding you back and the support to achieve your goals. The great thing about coaching is that you don’t need to figure everything out on your own. Your coach will work with you by creating the necessary space and atmosphere needed to work on your personal development and a deeper level of awareness.
