At Harper Therapy, we use the Relational Life Therapy (RLT) model for couples coaching and couples therapy. This model for working with couples is a fantastic framework. Working with relationships can be very complex work. It often requires more than just basic therapeutic skills.

Containing boundaries are helpful when we are reactive and when we are acting in ways that are outside of our values and our best selves.

Psychological boundaries are different.  They are an internal boundary that separates our mind from the minds of others literally in our own heads.

There are four kinds of boundaries that Shore teachers, external, psychological, containing, and physical.  External boundaries are between you and other people, psychological and containing boundaries are inner boundaries that support external boundaries.  Physical boundaries can be both internal and external.

When you think about how most women are raised, we are raised to consider our own needs second or third if at all.  So the idea of setting boundaries can feel selfish or unkind and this can make it difficult to have boundaries.

A lot of pent-up emotion and frustration can build up for the average six years it takes for people to get the help they need. We see couples that are on their last leg here all the time. We are always asked if we can help them, and we tell them we can, but it will take work from both of them.
