Wondering if your relationship will ever change?

You truly care about your partner, but you’re starting to wonder how long you can keep going if things stay the same. You’ve had yet another day of the same old issues. You’re overwhelmed, irritated, and tired of walking on eggshells. You’ve tried to bring up what’s bothering you, but those conversations always turn into arguments. Is it ever going to change? 

Sometimes it’s like you’re talking to a brick wall, and sometimes you both promise things will change – but they don’t change for long. Lately, it’s been easier to just say nothing and go with the flow, but you know you can’t keep this up forever. And you don’t want to. It might be hard to admit, but thoughts about leaving your partner are starting to creep in and you wonder if they are feeling the same way. 

At the core of things, neither of you is happy or getting your needs met, and you truly want that to change. 

Change can happen, but not unless something changes. 

My name is Dr. Joy Heafner and I provide online couples counseling in Rhode Island and Connecticut. I help couples learn how to deeply connect and reconnect.

I will show each of you how to turn your attention inward so you can identify and understand your own feelings and needs. Then, I will teach you to express them in a way that your partner is more likely to take in. You will also learn how to truly listen and hear what’s been going on inside your partner’s head. No more talking in circles or stony silences.

What would it feel like to go through hard things with your partner without all the confusion, frustration, and defensiveness? Can you imagine being able to have a conversation in which you feel truly heard and respected?

Are you ready to go from a just-okay relationship to one filled with warmth, teamwork, and love?
