Sex Addiction does serious damage to the couple

At the beginning of the couples therapy session, I like to ask a
first question - 'How did you guys meet?' Telling the story will
reveal the greater truth about where the couple are at in the
conflict. Has the loving got snuffed out or is there a glimmer of
light that may still be turned up. 


Is there a split agenda? Are there ulterior motives for one or
both turning up for counselling? Has the conflict become
entrenched and each dug in for a war of attrition?


We can teach our brains to say the right think, that we are
expected to say, but often that is not the full truth! Just like
the reply to the question - 'How are you doing?'  - evokes a
knee jerk automatic answer - 'I am fine thank you'.


Body language will give a more truthful answer as to where the
couple are at and more accurately represent what is really going
on in the heart.


Telling the story of 'how did you meet' - will give a helpful
calibration of where the couple are at and the nature of the work
to follow, because of the toll the conflict has taken, before
they sought help. As human beings, we tend to push it too far
before reaching out for the help that we knew that we needed long
ago.


At The Kairos Centre, we use less 'Talk Therapy' and more
sculpting with representative visual objects, to get to what the
heart is really saying. It really is 'a heart thing'. The heart
tends to tell the truth, if you can get to it. 


We get to it at The Kairos Centre. Then we know how to move
forward with the work of counselling - with truth as the focus -
not unconscious half-truths!


Journey with us to reclaim your life, bring colour to life,
without shame.
