Embracing Transition |
That Special Feeling
You've Been Searching For... Gail Jones
Empowering you to attract and
sustain healthy relationship I became
certified in relationship coaching, using a breakthrough model from
Imago therapy developed by Harville Hendrix.
By guiding clients through a process of discovery, I help
them DESIGN (versus repair), relationships.
Unlike therapy, where the counselor is the expert, in
coaching the couple and I work in collaboration to co-create a
vision to move the couple forward. Today, we are demanding more than ever of our intimate relationships, wanting our significant others to become our “soul mates,” sharing not only in daily responsibilities, but also in deeper connection with the inner workings of our being. Sadly, many of us have never seen a highly evolved relationship modeled. We carry into our adult lives early conditioning from childhood that limits our ability to attract or keep healthy love. Moreover, we are bombarded by media images of relationships based solely on chemistry or emotions, when in actuality mature love is more than feelings. True love is also an intention, a commitment to extend yourself for the other person.
Currently, about 40 percent of the adult population is single. Nearly 58 percent of first marriages end in divorce. The divorce rate for second marriages is also high, ranging from 40 to 78 percent. Most of us are not taught how to embrace the transition from being part of a couple to standing on our own. In my book, Becoming Single Again…The inner Journey of Rebirth (available later this year through this website), I teach the process of maneuvering from relationship with a partner to relationship with self. It is from learning self-love that we ready ourselves again for a healthier new partnership, if we so desire. At the same time, many mid-life couples who have been in committed long-term relationships are looking for ways to reignite their partnerships after years of raising children and/or career building. These couples could also benefit from learning new relationship skills. |
