Couple Psychotherapy
Love constantly changes because we constantly change. Romantic love, by its nature, brings instability.
Francesco Campanile offers couple psychotherapy in Ottawa with a psychoanalytic approach based on the most recent literature. This entails using a considerate approach to therapy that aims to make both partners feel supported and understood.
The process, in fact, begins with two individual sessions followed by one joint session with both partners present. During the one-on-one sessions, each person has the opportunity to share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns in a private, comfortable space. This enables the therapist to appreciate each partner's distinct viewpoints and relationship experiences by getting to know them as individuals.
The joint session, on the other hand, allows the psychoanalyst to observe and know the couple. Specifically, he focuses on how the two partners interact not only with one another but also with the couple as a whole, noticing patterns in communication, emotional expression, and how each partner's unconscious feelings influence how they live the relationship and the other.
These initial meetings are all about laying a foundation of trust and mutual understanding. By exploring each partner's individuality as well as their bond as a couple, the analyst creates an environment in which the three participants are constantly looking at each other's perspectives and attempting to find meaning in what happens in the relationship.
Such a setting paves the way for authentic communication, mutual acknowledgement, and generally stronger connection between partners.
