Immanence Therapy supports couples on their unique journeys.

We heal in relationship: That’s why it’s so important to give your relationship the support it needs, and as early as possible. Many people wait much too long before they seek help in their relationship. But there is even a layer of our personal healing that can arguably only happen in relationships, and not outside of them. 

Relationships are essential to our life and wellbeing. Knowing ourselves is the foundation for healing and change, and that includes understanding how we relate to others, how we navigate shared space and time, and how we honor dialogue, dreams, and differences.

I support all couples and wherever they may find themselves at this moment, including:

• Premarital counseling
• Mixed-neurotype couples 
• Multi-cultural/ethnic/racial or international couples
• LGBTQIA+ couples
• Supporting couples on their journey to parenthood (pregnancy, perinatal, postpartum)
• Healing after an affair
• Contemplating peaceful separation

Our relationships can be affected by trauma in its various manifestations: Perhaps we dissolve when in relationship, we lose our sense of self, put our partner’s need first and have an intense fear that we might lose the relationship. Or we may identify as basically self-sufficient, needing no-one, and finding it hard to soften ourselves to the presence of another person. Trust, ambivalence, fear of abandonment, self vs. other are common topics in couples therapy.

We heal in relationship

Couples therapy include learning healthy communication skills and emotional co-regulation. It is the re-learning space for interdependence, which includes re-learning the nature and importance of boundaries. Entering and maintaining a shared field is an integral part of healing trauma. We get to co-create reality and experience true emergence. To arrive here, we need to make conscious the ideas, expectations, and ultimately illusions we project onto our partner, as well as inherited storylines we play out but didn’t author.

I use a blend of trauma-informed approaches in my work with couples, including

• Jungian / Depth Therapy
• Systems Theory
• Gestalt Therapy & Parts work
• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
• Narrative Therapy
• the Gottman Method
• Non-Violent Communication (NVC)
• Non-dual Tantra can also be a helpful framework to understand relationship dynamics and patterns.

Sessions

Sessions are 50 or 90 minutes long, and conducted in English or in German.

If you would like to begin couples therapy, I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation (video or phone) for us to connect, to learn more about what you are looking for, and to answer any questions you might have for me.
