Communication skills

Communication skills are high on the agenda when working with couples. A lack of communication usually stems from assumption and disagreements. If partners do not learn how to communicate with one another, often disconnection and distance will arise. This will eventually cause conflict, unhappiness or loneliness between couples.

In many relationships, this therapy process is often the last resort in attempting to resurrect what once was.
