A Therapist Helping Couples Improve Their Relationship
Have you struggled to keep your identity in the middle of being a wife, girlfriend, or mother?
Do you sometimes feel that you are there for everybody else’s needs but wonder if your needs are ever going to matter?
Do you feel like you give and give, but don’t receive anything back?
Do you worry about your husband or boyfriend cheating on you with another woman?
Are you concerned about your partner’s obsessional interests and feel like you’re being ignored?
Do you feel like your guy is mainly interested in himself, and you mother him in addition to your kids?
Is your man looking at other women or trying to make you jealous so that he can get more of your attention?
Do you worry about living alone if your relationship won’t work out?
Can you see your power struggles with your partner and talk to each other about it to reduce the emotional stress?
Can you identify the three most salient trigger points of your emotionally vulnerable self?
Are you sick of being drawn back to someone who hurts you?
Would you like to understand how to enable a healthy and loving relationship in your life? Especially towards yourself?
Well, those are a lot of questions.
I amKat Von Rhau, and I strive to help you value yourself in your own essence and apart from your connections with other people.
With my help, your relationship with yourself could become your most important one.
At last, you can feel your own spark and not seek validation from other people who can or cannot love you.
Maintaining a happy and healthy relationship can take a lot of work. At Phoenix Women's Counseling, I can help you resolve any issues you may have with your partner and deepen your intimacy and connection in the process.
Sexuality and Spirituality
Sexual issues seem to regularly come up in a long-term relationship, after the honeymoon period is over. Sexual contact can potentially bring up every deep emotional issue that both parties have had, both in the present and the past.
For instance, the woman the wants more affection and the guy is ready to go. He feels she is making demands and something is wrong with him. She feels she needs loving contact before she is interested in opening her body. She could have felt used for sex in the past or harassed or molested, or just felt unloved.
Men and women are extremely different and it takes some deep awareness to get these differences to function in a harmonious and complimentary way, rather than a conflictional and wounding way.
Therapy teaches you how to communicate the deep needs you have and usually hide. Because therapy is a neutral and supportive environment, you are encouraged to show your needs and feel vulnerable. You are never more vulnerable than when you are needy.
The reward you receive for this work in therapy, is a feeling of oneness and joy where both parties are fulfilled. The baggage that is painful and uncomfortable is pierced through with awareness and therapy work. The truth sets you free.
Sexuality and spirituality are not separate domains. The spirit longs to connect with an open aliveness to another being and in that oneness, the wholly quietness is felt, the unseen that is difficult to express in words but is very real and true. Required is an openness and a surrender that exists underneath or above thought. The man pops up, the woman opens up. I notice too that humor is in the mix.
First, honor your woundedness by paying attention to it and giving your understanding. Often, you will need a witness, someone to hear you, like a therapist to listen to your woundedness, to bring compassion and confront the truth.
This process is not always easy to do on your own. I wish you luck in your endeavor to evolve. It is true that a giraffe does not become an elephant and it is also true that people evolve in their consciousness.
