In couples therapy, couples can learn about issues such as communication, intimacy, finances and parenting. Partners can find ways to make a deep, soulful connection with one another and strengthen their relationship. Couples experiences such as groups or workshops are offered at various times to facilitate support and learning in a community atmosphere . There may come a time when family members want to work together to address both the past and how the changes that are being made are affecting everyone's lives. Working together with a family therapist, family members can learn to share and truly listen to one another.
Partners can learn how to talk, trust, forgive and enjoy each other in new ways.
A person may get to a point in theor own growth where they want to address the person with the addiction in their life in a new or more constructive manner. But they are often afraid of saying or doing something wrong and of how this person might react. The counsellors at Christie House are available for consultation on possible ways to approach this person and communicate with them.
