couples Counseling is needed when the lines of communication in a marriage or partnership have broken down, making it impossible to relate to one another in a mutually beneficial way.
It benefits both parties to have an advocate and confidant in a mate. If there is resentment there is withdrawal. If there is a list of inequities on either or both sides that has not been discussed, processed and mitigated, then there can not be healthy, open, frank discussion.

Thoughts often lead to patterns and tendencies. Patterns of feeling and belief, tendencies toward this and away from that, creating ideas of maladaptive selfhood.
Mindfulness shows a way clear of all that has been created by past thoughts and deeds. It is a way to tend the garden of your mind.
Intention Therapy is a means towards rooting out the weeds of destructive: patterns, tendencies, beliefs, and identities.
Read moreRegardless of one's cognitive/behavioral dysfunction on some level there is the intention to bring about the dysfunction. It has long been accepted that Cognitive/Behavioral Therapies are extremely effective in dealing with mood disorders. One can learn to be anxiety free by changing their mental tendencies. One can overcome depression the same way. These therapies are increasing applied to the field of addictions, as well, with some good results These therapies are very effective in dealing with irrational thoughts, and maladaptive tendencies, but they fall short. They do not emphasize the key ingredient of our dysfunction and our transcendence from our dysfunction. They mostly leave out intention.
Unconscious intention is still intention. There is part of you that wants what it wants. Is it separate from you? No, it is part of you, it is part of your mind. Getting at that, looking at that, seeing all the ways that you intend everything that you bring about, eventually leads to your freedom.
Intention Therapy is designed to help you see, really see , that you create your life. You create it unconsciously, mindlessly, habitually, and in many way dysfunctionally. Until you realize that the intent is there ( the intent is always there ), it can't be truly seen, and it cannot be ultimately transformed.
All human intention is almost always on some level logical, and it is always acceptable. It is acceptable because to not accept it is to deny it. To deny it is to let it stay inaccessible to the conscious mind, thus letting unconscious intention create what it creates without the awareness that it is you that is creating it. It is logical because through analysis almost all maladaptive behavior is adaptive to other maladaptive behavior, so on some level it has an adaptive quality. Nothing is created in a vacuum, including your intentions, and human behavior is fairly predictable, so based on certain situational factors, you create intentions designed to endure.
You can't blame yourself for your intentions and for many of the bad choices you made while under the influence of their delusion. I am not saying don't feel shame, because unless you are a sociopath you are lucky to have it. Feel the shame but know that you are not alone in it, many people share in it. You really can't hold out anyone for the total blame because each of us had those who interacted on us and shaped our intentions.
Hero and villain have both been created by their experience with multitudes of other minds, going back to the dawn of humanity. You can never truly self create anything, we are all in this together, even "original ideas" were precipitated by other "original ideas". Not to take away from individual creativity because some of it is revolutionary and ground breaking. But, even though Divinci had concepts of flying machines in 1490, we couldn't make a flying machine until the other mental and physical conditions necessary to make one existed over 400 years later. Yeah, he was a genius but his genius was conditional to his circumstance. Just as our genius - or disfunction - is conditional to ours.
Since all behavior is developed cognitively, all behavior is intentional. This is true regardless of the mental pattern and tendency. Whether we chose a dysphonic mental state, substance abuse, or any other mind-numbing distraction we are choosing. We are choosing a reality that is other than the one that is really here. The reality that is always here in this moment. This reality that lives in us and through us regardless of our intention. This reality and the intention to live it is the truth/power behind all that is. To realize this in any moment is to truly see one's life.
Awareness is the key in intention therapy. Change comes about when the individual mindfully examines their destructive intentions and transforms them. Through the power of wholesome mindful intention we can all create the life that is - THIS LIFE. When one can say this is the life that I intended, and know that is not a selfish "I" that intended it. When one can know that one's self intent is not apart from the whole. When one clearly sees that "this is My Life" and everything and everyone is an important part of me. Then one flows with compassionate, and wise intention. However, don't be fooled, this intention is not a place to get to, it is a place to BE. To be free is to have the intention to be free. The true intention. Intention therapy is a way towards this true intention in those who aren't ready to see it for themselves.
