Emotionally focused couple therapy is based on attachment theory. For example, when one partner is "anxiously attached" to the other, he or she is insecure about the stability of the relationship, and feels anxiety as a result. The anxiety may surface in behaviors such as "picking a fight" in order to get some response from the partner indicating that he or she still cares. Feel free to call me at 925-351-8447 any time. I answer the phone whenever possible.

Is it easier to find your life partner, or to maintain a happy relationship after you are together? While many singles might say it's more difficult to find a partner than to keep one, I think the harder task is to stay happy once you are together.

Why? Because once you are together you can't continue to put up a false front all the time; you can't hide the flaws that you tried to cover up while you were dating. If you are a person of kindness, peace, understanding, and love, this is what will come out when you live with a partner. On the other hand, if you are angry, disagreeable, or lazy, this also will come out, and it won't be nearly as well received!

What do to if some of those negative emotions start to emerge? Learn how to communicate well. Don't hide your feelings. Tell your partner about them in a non-threatening and non-critical way. Be vulnerable and see how well your partner responds.
