RADICALLY DIFFERENT THERAPY · MISSOURI
Couples counseling for Duquesne, MO.
You have explained it six ways. You still feel unheard.
You add another detail, hoping this one will make sense to your partner. They hear another accusation and start defending themselves. By the end, you are arguing about how you argued. We can get closer to the thing you were trying to say in the first place.

WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?
What did you need them to understand?
Sometimes the argument is full of accurate details and still misses the point. You remember the words. Your partner remembers a different tone. The hurt underneath never gets a hearing.
In couples work, we pay attention to what the exchange meant to each of you. Feeling dismissed, blamed, or unimportant gives us more to work with than another attempt to establish who remembers it correctly.
No fluff, no BS therapy for relationships that need radical help.
01
Work with the explaining, defending, and escalating that keep leaving both of you unheard.

02
When the conversation is about betrayal, accountability and the injury to trust need direct attention.
↗

Bring the conversations about desire or rejection that keep getting lost in defensiveness.

Learn more about how you handle disagreement while you are preparing for marriage.

THE WORK IN THE ROOM
We slow down the moment your meaning gets lost.
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to notice the exchange as it happens. If your partner starts explaining before you finish, or you turn up the volume because you feel dismissed, I get involved.
We look at what you heard, what it brought up, and what you did next. You may have intended a simple request while your partner heard that they had failed you again. Understanding that difference gives us a place to work.
Then we practice saying the important part with me there to help the other person stay with it. Both of you have something to understand and something to take responsibility for.
More explanation is not always what is missing.

BEFORE YOU SCHEDULE
Questions about getting started.
Where do we meet if we live in Duquesne, MO?
Your appointment is at my office in Webb City, Missouri, near Joplin: 2830 Mt. Hope Rd., Webb City, MO 64870. Both partners attend in person at this location.
What if we remember the same argument differently?
Bring both versions. I want to understand the experience each of you had and how the disagreement unfolds between you. We can work with that without settling every detail of the original conversation.
Will you tell my partner why I am right?
I will be direct about what I see, including hurtful behavior. The work also asks each person to look at their part in what happens between you. Coming here is a commitment to participate in that conversation.
Do we need to prepare a list of problems?
You can bring notes if they help. One recent exchange is also enough to begin. I will ask questions and help you find the parts that matter.
FOR COUPLES IN DUQUESNE, MO
Bring the conversation that never lands.
You do not need to find a seventh way to explain it before you come. We can work with the words you have, the frustration behind them, and what both of you need to hear.
