Common issues that couples address with Charlene Lewis in Couples therapy

March 8, 2015 By Charlene Lewis

I think one of the common trends that I see in my couples is one person wanting to
connect, and the other person withdrawing. Not that they don't want to connect,
but they don’t really know how to connect. That bleeds into sex, spending time
together, parenting, a multitude of issues. I think one of the biggest things that I
have seen in my practice are couples not really knowing how to communicate
about the issues. It doesn’t really matter what the issue is, it's the how to
communicate, how to repair from a disagreement, the tone and the words that are
used when communicating, misreading what the other person is saying.
One person is saying take out the garbage, put a light bulb in, and I need help with
the kids. The other person is seeing that as they’re nagging, they’re controlling,
nothing that I do is ever enough. Really, what the first partner is saying, “I need
help. I can’t do this alone. I don’t want to do it alone”; Instead of using that
language, they’re just more direct. I think a lot of my role in therapy with couples a
lot of the time is just educating them on different language, getting them in touch
with what they really need, and then being able to communicate that to their
partner.
