Boot Camp for Relationship Conflicts – Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program
Many relationships today are challenged due to any number of stressors – like careers, children and family demands. These challenges can either be met with a joint goal of managing them together via healthy and positive behavior, or you may find you are using a variety of techniques to avoid or numb yourself to the issue. You or your partner may use technology to either “check out” or, in extreme situations, to create significant relationships online. Technology use and abuse is becoming more common in the household and can add a new dimension to the relationship conflicts you are facing.
The concept of “boot camp” applied in psychotherapy might seem a bit intense. However, when we view relationships as the coming together of “recruits” with a similar goal and purpose, we can see that you and your partner are on the same team, despite any relationship conflicts you may be having. Like recruits joining a mission they are passionate about, couples usually begin with the same gusto. Great intentions, high hopes, attraction and desire fuel your conviction to join this concept of togetherness. For a time, the new venture runs like a well oiled machine. But relationships are not stagnant, and relationship conflicts may develop as time goes on. Children, careers, financial stressors and growth opportunities can all lead you to become disillusioned with each other or the relationship. And, as evidenced by the high divorce rate in this country, broken homes have far reaching affects on more than just the couple.
As we grow in partnership, we inevitably change. Sometimes we grow closer together, sometimes apart. This is why partnerships and marriages need constant tending. They need training. Retraining. And sometimes, they require intervention.
