My personal story is that I was in-and-out of the ‘dating world’ for what seemed an “eternity.” Growing up, I received a hearty ‘dose of programming’ from my mother that a woman cannot have a “good” marriage and career too. She wanted me to be a career woman, and at an unconscious level, I ‘bought into’ her line of thinking. It was either a career or marriage. “You can’t have both” was the belief. Hence, I married ‘late in life.’ My pattern was one of sporadically dating and falling for a guy every two or three years. Engaged at age 38, I decided to move on for various reasons. At age 46, I made getting married a priority, got myself on-line and met 44 men in an 18 month period. Some were only one coffee or dinner date. Others were a series of dates. My husband, Joe, was the 44th man I met. We had a memorable courtship, got engaged and have been happily married for six years.
As you know, living in the world has its ‘challenging moments.’ A husband and wife can differ in upbringing, values and 'love language' preferences. Each person is unique in some way. Thankfully, my psychology training has saved my husband and myself from falling into communication traps that foster hurt, conflict and misunderstanding.
Working with clients provides 'challenge' and 'satisfaction' in my life. Helping a person get what (s)/he wants, especially a deeper appreciation for her/himself, is rewarding. People are similar yet diverse. What I value most about the work we do, is the creative act of tailoring ‘sessions’ and seminars to achieve an individual’s goals.
So there are lots of love and relationship coaches out there, “Why me?”
I use a Rolls-Royce Approach.
The work we will do is based on the premise that people have all the resources they need to make the changes they want and need to make. My job is to lend assistance and support in accessing and organizing your resources to make those desired changes an accomplished fact. If this basic premise is true or not matters little because when a person structures their behavior as if the premise is true, untapped resources are brought to the forefront and made available to accomplish the goal.
Each resource is a unique 'success pattern' that rests in your personal history awaiting activation. This is even true for those experiences you have termed 'negative'. Confidence, daring, assertiveness, relaxation (and more…) are all qualities you have used in some area of your life. As I work with you, we will find your unique storehouse of resources and discover how to apply them to your current problems so you can make the changes you want.
