Is your relationship struggling with communication issues?

It may not always be easy to tell when there is a communication breakdown in a relationship. Below are some common signs a relationship may be having communication issues:

Stonewalling in a relationship is when a partner shuts down during conflict. It is as if there is a stone wall that blocks effective physical, emotional, and oral forms of communication. This toxic communication pattern can make it difficult to address communication and relationship issues. Stonewalling is considered to be one of the Four Horsemen of a relationship, which predicts a divorce or the end of a relationship. A couples therapist can help with communication issues and stonewalling in Virginia Beach.

Defensiveness in a relationship is another one of the Four Horsemen of a relationship. A partner may become defensive in a relationship if he or she perceives communication as criticism or an attack. A state of defensiveness involves a lack of responsibility, feelings of indignation, or a projection of innocence. This signal of the Four Horsemen makes it difficult to communicate about relationship issues because any attempts can be perceived as an attack.

Another sign of communication issues in a relationship is having repeated arguments. This indicates that there is a lack of conflict resolution due to an inability to communicate. When couples communicate effectively, they are able to break out of the toxic cycle of continual conflict. New conflicts may arise that need to be addressed, but they do not go in circles with the same arguments. Couples therapy can help with communication issues and reduce repeated arguments.

How do virtual couples therapy sessions work on improving communication?

Virtual couples therapists use a variety of evidence-based methods to help improve communication in a relationship. These approaches for communication issues include:

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the importance of emotions in changing behaviors. EFT is heavily based on attachment theory, which explores the four types of attachment styles. In EFT, couples work on finding the origin of their emotions. The theory is that emotions must be identified and accepted before they can change. This form of virtual therapy can help to reduce communication issues and conflicts by ensuring that the couples understand the emotions contributing to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most common therapy approaches. With CBT, couples work on breaking free from the thought patterns that contribute to negative behavioral cycles. The virtual couples therapist works on identifying negative thoughts such as “We do not have any time to spend together” and finding positive substitutes. An example of this would be, “We do not have a lot of free time this week, but we can go for a quick walk around the Oceanfront Boardwalk or the Towncenter”. The substitute thoughts can help to stop the negative thoughts that contribute to relationship issues and help with building communication skills.

The Gottman Method for couples therapy is a research-based approach designed to break down communication issues. The Gottman Method was developed by John and Julie Gottman, who also created the Four Horsemen of a relationship. The approach focuses on building intimacy and friendship within the relationship. This can help to allow both partners to feel comfortable and safe enough with each other that they can effectively communicate about their feelings and issues within the relationship.
