Improving Relationships
Relationships are one of the most important aspects of life and the most challenging. Communication is the key. Each of us comes with our own individual way of experiencing the world and communicating through that filter. By learning to understand our different body types, and body language we can improve relationships immensely. Through Psychosomatic Analysis we can explore and validate your unique way of communicating.
As 93% of our communication is non-verbal, learn your body talk. Learn to become the ultimate observer, accepting yourself and understanding others the way they are. The 'issue in the tissue,' where you have stored emotional baggage that is spilling over into your relationships. Your mind (psycho) and body (somatic) are interconnected. What you experience, think and feel is stored in the cells of your body.
This begins as early as your time in your mother's womb. Unexpressed emotion is stored in your cellular memory. These memories, your emotional baggage, become what psychosomatic therapists refer to as 'issues in the tissues'. Understand what is yours and what is passed down through your families lineage.
Psychosomatic Therapy provides profound personal growth whilst providing the basis to enhance all your relationships. We have assisted many couples and families to accept each other by helping each other truly see each other. Simply understanding face shape can bring a great depth of acceptance and understanding.
“We were on the way to separating when we came across Vicki & Karen. We drove from Burnie to Hobart to see them. After a 3 hour session we cleared the issues, discovered how to see each other and how differently we communicate. Now we are able to accept each other without trying to demand change. We are revelling in our love and joyful family life now. Gone from heading to divorce to truly understanding and loving each other for who we truly are. Cannot recommend them highly enough!”

In Improving Relationships, you will learn:
How we communicate
Healthy relationship rely on the ability for partners to communicate openly with each other. To listen with compassion and understanding. It can be difficult to be vulnerable and to share openly. Trust is essential as we can be fearful of rejection or how our partner will react. We listen with our own filters and often in a defensive way rather with an open ear.
Communication becomes unhealthy when one partner is dominating, influencing or controlling the others thoughts or behaviour. It is important for all relationships to have boundaries and space from each other. We teach simple techniques that will help you stay in your lane whilst honouring your partner also in their lane.
Respect / Trust - means being heard
Trust and Respect start with self. We all want to be heard. A partner is someone we trust to witness our life. When there is respect both people feel comfortable bringing up issues, expressing themselves and listening to one another even when it can be challenging to hear or say. Each of us have different life experiences and our opinions and beliefs are important in the shape of who we are.
When feelings or needs are disrespected or ignored communication will struggle resulting in relationship break down. Accepting each other as different individuals can make this process easier. We want a partner not a clone of our own ideas. Equal compromise and ongoing communication are key in respecting each other’s feelings, needs and values. But compromise shouldn’t always be one way.
When we respect and trust ourselves then we trust others. It’s important to maintain relationships outside of our relationships to have a strong support system. In healthy relationships, significant others trust one another. Trust is about knowing that someone will do what they say. It also can mean that each person in the relationship feels free to spend time with other people in their life like friends and family.
