All of our life we are in relationship with ourselves and others and relationship challenges come because of this. Children adapt to fit their family of origin and, dependent on what life skills are learned, determine coping skills. The learnt behaviour is then taken into other relationships + conflict can be experienced, i.e. anger, loneliness, rejection, not feeling good enough. Couples counselling looks at the co-created dynamic to find healthier ways of relating. Remember - what is learnt can be unlearnt.
