As individuals, we have our own way of seeing the world. Sometimes, a person’s view can differ from those around them, particularly from those who are closest to you. This is when disagreements or trouble in a relationship generally begins.

That trouble can escalate and become worse when an agreement or compromise cannot be found. Both people involved suffer in the relationship, and it may start to seem like there is no resolution in sight.

North Aurora marriage and couples counseling can help couples come to resolutions and find paths to move forward in their relationship.

We offer several different techniques to identify the strengths and weaknesses in a relationship and help each individual to learn new skills to achieve healing and open communication.

A few of the skills we teach are:

• Active listening
• Mindfulness
• Assertiveness training
• Rebuilding trust/intimacy
• Attachment issues.

If you are feeling like your relationship is not working out, then talk to us at the North Aurora IL Braden Counseling Center. We can begin a counseling program that puts you both on course for a happier, more fulfilling relationship.
