We Have Nothing in Common

What's a couple to do when they feel they have fallen out of love, and/or have nothing in common? Is it over for good? Can anything turn things around?

One way I respond to these kinds of questions in therapy is to ask a couple what drew them together in the first place. A couple might then find some ideas to rekindle the spark.

The solution might be found in taking regular walks that make it easier to talk together or just to be together. It might be sitting face to face across a table and looking into each other eyes to talk. It might be working together on a home project or taking a vacation dedicated to focusing on the two of you. As a couple do you work together well, or do you do better engaging in a form of recreation?

If there are deeper issues, and resentment has taken a hold, you may want to consider discussing the matter openly with your partner. If you run into the same old argument and can't seem to break the pattern, consider seeing a therapist to help you work through the issues and to learn effective ways of communicating.

As always, I remain available for an initial phone consultation to see if we would be a good fit.

Sunray Counseling has a blog!

Whew, a bit more learning for me in the computer techy world. I first started this blog with a view to attaching it to my existing http://www.sunraycounseling.com/ website, so I put the word "blog" on the end. I tried adding this myself, but the limit on my tech knowledge prevailed, and the project got put on the shelf.

A couple days later, I started a Sunray Counseling blog (without the word "blog" since that makes it unnecessarily long) and wrote a couple posts. I still wanted to figure out how people got these things attached to their main website, but it was not high on the priority list! I was keeping busy on my art blog and Facebook, so that took my time and attention (plus being a lot of fun and user friendly!).

Now I have a great tech guy who has been helping me with my website and is in the process of adding a page to accommodate my blogspot blog right on the Sunray Counseling site! Cool! Plus I figured out some other stuff on my own with forwarding my domain names to my blogspot blogs and such, so that's a nice boost right there too. (I kept thinking it was the other way around....)

I won't discontinue this site since it has my business name contained in it, but won't be posting regularly here. Rather, I'm redirecting you to read http://www.sunraycounseling.blogspot.com/ .

Looking forward to staying in touch. Thanks for following!

Welcome to my Sunray Counseling Blog!

Blogging is a new learning curve for me, but since I've been at it the last few months, I've had a lot of fun!

I will be letting you know of great books, programs or other useful materials, and who knows may even give my two bits on a movie here or there.

Check in often and see what the latest is. I look forward to meeting you!
