Gene says "George was the
first therapist I had ever sat down with, and with him, I felt
completely relaxed." My focus in marriage counselling is strengthening of the marital bond or connection. This work of Sue Johnson on Emotinally focused couple therapy. I also can make use of the tools and insights that I have gained over 35 years in professional counseling practice. These tools called Life Transformation Therapy are based on the belief that only God can heal our life. Marriage counselling needs to focus on the healing of traumas in the relationship. Those events that kindle resentment, disappointment and anger or withdrawal into separate lives and, eventually, silent divorce. A marriage needs to be a place of emotional safety and comfort where we can recharge to engage the world. Individuals receive healing from past emotional trauma by discovering painful core beliefs and dissoving them through confrontation with the truth. In prayerful listening therapy that truth is God's very word spoken to our heart.
