The Four Horsemen - Criticism, Defensiveness, Stonewalling and Contempt
The Four Horseman is a description of the negative traits that can lead to a couple into a negative feedback loop. They are Criticism, Defensiveness, Stonewalling and Contempt. Once we are in this negative feedback loop it’s hard to get out but fortunately they have also identified the antidotes to each of these negative traits.
Couple Counselling is also about self discovery
I always begin by telling my clients that whilst Couple Counselling is of course about your relationship, it is also an amazing journey of self-discovery that runs parallel to learning about your relationship.
