What makes you an expert in relationships?
In a word, research. It is obvious that no one person can become knowledgeable in relationships based solely on his or her experience. Indeed no matter how long one lives it is impossible to even begin to cover the large spectrum that is relationships. The only way one can become knowledgeable is to learn and bennefit from the many relationships that came before us. To locate relaible sources of compiled information from the experience of many relationships, then understand those materials and put them into practice. What you have acces to is 10 years of dilligent study in this area, condensed down to it's core essence and thought in an understandable way.
If my partner and I broke up, is it possible to get him/her back?
It depends. Generally speaking getting back yor ex after a breakup is more difficult than improving a relationship that has not yet reached that point. It is generally difficult but not impossible, be prepared to reach a higher level of proficiency in dealing with relationships to achieve success here.
Isn't this the job of a psychologist?
As far as I understand it, psychologists primarily deal with diagnosable mental disorders. Such as depression, anxiety, abuse etc... In treating those disorders the status of a persons relationship may be adressed but that is usually not the main focus. In my case I teach and train normal people with normal problems. The vast majority of people face challenges in their relationships that can be greatly improoved with our training, indeed normal people face normal problems in relationships and most relationships evolve towards a common state of imballance. That said I am not the adequate specialist to deal with extreme cases such as domestic violence, abuse, depression and others, in such cases the help if a psychologist and/or psichaitrist is reccomended.
Why do you offer counseling and not just courses or a book?
We have found that there is a difference between udnerstadning an issue and changing habbits. When reading a good book on relationships or taking a course one may understand critical aspects of his or her relationship. However when people are emmotionally involved it is usually quite difficult to put that new udnerstanding into practice. Thus in msot cases people continue with the negative cycle habbits that build resentments inside their relationships because when we feel hurt it is so hard to act loving and respectful. Not to mention that a book or a course may deal with general issues that perhaps do not fully cover your speciffic situation. That is why counseling is necessary, to translate, guide and build new habbits that will sustain a pozitive emotional cycle inside a relationship over the long term. Think of it as learning basketball. You can watch videos, read books and practice by yourself but without a coach you will likely be frustrated in trying to improove. You need the guidance of the basketball coach.
