IMPROVING THEIR MARRIAGE

6/22/2015

Malia and Richard learned that they triggered each other and that there were underlying and unresolved issues from the past that caused them to fight. They learned to take a time-outs as soon as anger surfaced and discuss issues later when they were calm. Time-outs were difficult at first because they had to learn that continuing to fight was not productive and would harm their relationship. Stopping the fights on the other hand would create respect and peace.

Richard learned that it was important to listen and discuss difficult issues and find mutually acceptable solutions. Malia learned to speak respectfully and share issues and problems that she needed to address. As psychologists we teach you to learn the skills to create more successful relationships with others.

Thank You.

Understanding your inner child

Malia was recently married to Richard. They cared a lot for each other and thus it was surprising that they had some difficulties. When Malia wanted to discuss issues that bothered her, such as finances or chores, Richard shut down and they were not able to resolve problems. Malia got very angry and accused Richard of being selfish and uncaring. Richard triggered her anger because he reminded her of her mother. Her mother ignored many of her needs when she grew up and was emotionally unavailable. Richard got triggered because he felt criticized by his dad growing up and learned to shut down.

Understanding such reactions will help you be more patient with each other and address issues in a more adult manner. As psychologists we assist people in better understanding triggering circumstances.

Thank You.
