It takes three, not two, to make a healthy relationship: two independent, autonomous individuals and the life they share between them.
Healthy Intimacy: Staying Separate and Connected
What makes a healthy intimacy? A relationship can only be as good as the individuals in it. If both people have a unique identity with clear-cut boundaries separate from the relationship, they are in a position to create the third entity, a dynamic partnership. The goal of my couples counseling is to help them to remain separate but connected.
Goal
It takes three to create an excellent relationship: I, You, We. All three entities must be simultaneously nurtured.
Process
- “I” – A relationship is only as good as the individuals in it. I will help you to develop your “Self.”
- “You” – Your partner is a separate individual from you. I will help you to honor the differences.
- “We” – Partners in happy relationships experience security and trust with one another so they can bring their “I” honestly into the partnership.
