Nearly one in five couples in the UK are in a “distressed relationship” (See Ref 1) – one in which there are frequent arguments, thoughts of separation and regret over getting together in the first place. The stress that this puts on the couple is immense. For some, this leads to a lot of anxiety, anger, feeling of inadequacy and other negative emotions.
Now, the accepted wisdom for a distressed relationship is to see a couples counsellor: someone who can help the couple work through their issues and come to a more satisfactory ending – be it a more tolerant and happier life together, or separation. This helps with the relationship, but does not necessarily deal with the anxiety that one or both the pair may have to deal with.
How Hypnotherapy Can Help With The Emotions In Distressed Relationships
Let’s start with what hypnotherapy does not do. It does not help sort out what has gone wrong with the relationship. It does not work with the couple together. It just works with one of the pair to deal with their ability to deal with the emotional upheaval. It does not take sides in the relationship. It just helps sort out the emotional turmoil.
There are many negative emotions that arise from a distressed relationship. For example:
- Uncontrolled anger when having an argument
- Regret over the situation they find themselves in
- Fear about the next outburst and argument
- Feelings of inadequacy when the partner talks about breaking up
- Jealousy that is still there after accepting a partner back after they had an affair
These are just some of the negative emotions that make it difficult to think straight, and so make it difficult to find a way forward.
Hypnotherapy can help sufferers get more in control of their emotions, and so deal with the distressed relationship in a calmer and more rational manner.
