Why am I afraid of commitment?

How do we resolve our differences?

How do I trust after promises have been broken?

I don’t understand why I cheated on my spouse?

Why is there no contentment or happiness in my marriage?

Why can’t my spouse understand my needs?

Questions around the mystery of marriage are endless…

Lori is on the faculty of Terry Real’s “Real Relational Solutions” and she has trained for over a decade with both Terry and Patrick Carnes. Both of these people are groundbreaking authors. Terry has written several books on relationships and male depression and Patrick has written numerous books on various subjects related to aspects of sexuality and addiction.

Lori is an expert helping couples restore relational and physical intimacy following sexual betrayal, sex addiction, sexual and/or emotional affairs, love addiction. Misunderstood love hurts. It is painful and devastating to committed relationships. Not only for the person who has been betrayed, but also for the person who stepped outside of the relationship to get physical and/or emotional needs met.

Helping couples address past traumas, such as childhood sexual or physical abuse, or present traumas, such as sexual betrayal or addiction that have undermined the couple's ability to form a secure bond with each other require specialization.

This specialization has evolved into an eclectic and action-oriented approach that blends marital and sexual therapy and derives method from the following ongoing, and intensive training experiences specific to marriage therapy:

bulletTerrence Real, The New Rules of Marriage: A Breakthrough Program for 21st-Century Relationships
bulletDavid Schnarch, Passionate Marriage
bulletJohn Gottman, Why Marriages Succeed or Fail
bulletHarville Hendrix, Keeping the Love You Find
bulletEllen Bader, In Search of the Mythical Mate
bulletPatrick Carnes, Open Hearts ("We Came to Believe" program for couples)
 

Marriage therapy not only involves a commitment to repairing the relationship, but also a commitment by each partner to work on their own personal growth.
