When people ask me about using NLP for couples therapy, the first thing I ask is, ‘is this relationship worth saving?’. If it is then there are a number of NLP and Time Line™ Therapy techniques that can help couples reconnect their love strategy, relationship values and begin communicating in a resourceful and loving way.
What if the answer however is ‘No, this relationship isn’t worth saving!” ?
You know being honest with yourself about what you want out of a relationship is the first step towards having the relationship you really want and need. All too often I hear about people who stay in unresourceful or unhappy relationships because the perceived pain of leaving is too much to contemplate. The question I’d like to ask is this…. When did it become okay for us to remain in a relationship where our needs are not being met? How often do you hear of older couples wishing they had the guts to leave the relationship and spend their remaining years in a passionate and exciting relationship?
Regardless of whether you stay and make it work or leave and make it work, NLP techniques can help you make the transition easier emotionally.
The first thing you need to do is be clear about what it is you want in a relationship. You probably already know what you don’t want – so stop focusing on that and focus on what you do want. Once you have that list of wants and needs – look at your current relationship and decide together if the relationship is worth saving and if each partner can meet the other’s needs. If the answer is no, then you can support each other in the decision and move towards what you do want in an amicable way.
