It has been noticeable that relationships have a typical “Romantic phase” which often being experienced as “heavenly bliss” and it generally lasted about two years. After a while the “Power Struggle” follows when couples attempted to fulfil their unmet needs from childhood and the current relationship. Unfortunately, this could result in a cycle of wounding and re-wounding each other due to our survival adaptations of childhood learnings. According to Imago Relationship Theory, we emerge from childhood as wounded individuals, in the hope that the new found relationship would generate healing and wholeness.
The goal of relationship coaching is to create a conscious way of relating to each other, where both parties are responsible and contribute to the functioning of the relationship to ensure growth and maintaining a positive relationship. Neither party should give up his/her identity to be accepted, but rather anchor the relationship on mutual care and respect.
