Couples Therapy

  • How do you behave in your relationship when your partner triggers you?
  • What are you sensitive about, and how do you express that?
  • Where do your insecurities lie, and how do they play out?
  • Do you bring them into your togetherness? Does your partner?

Relationships are the most fascinating areas of our lives. We can’t live without other people but sometimes it feels like we can’t live with them. Men and women inherently think, feel, and act differently from one another, but that’s not the reason why things fall apart or go so terribly wrong, any couple who tried to start something together can find themselves in the depths of despair wondering what is going on. It certainly helps when you understand a little bit more about the way the opposite sex or the partner you’ve chosen, thinks and operates, but there’s a whole area of relationships that is often overlooked, and when brought to light, makes sense of everything.

Three of the four relationship types are problematic. The Co-dependent, Aloof and Black Dominant dynamics will play out causing less than happy outcomes. Whereas the fourth type is called Functional Relating and can set you up together for the long haul.

You see, every relationship that you enter into, holds a particular dynamic that is formed between the personalities of the people involved. Your relationship, particularly the closest ones, such as your romantic connections, are the ultimate reflection of how you feel about yourself. Your relationships reflect your deepest unconscious beliefs about who you think you are. You’ve heard that saying, ‘Opposites attract…’ What exactly is it that’s being attracted? And why is it that it’s sometimes not so attractive as time goes by?

The fact is that those attractions are coming from an unconscious place of what people feel they need in life and believe that can be fulfilled by the other person. Unconsciously the belief is that the other person is going to make them whole, fix them, solve the problem of who they unconsciously feel they are, and of course, that can never happen. No one is broken. No one needs fixing.

Unfortunately, while you don’t recognise your own wholeness and go into a relationship from that place, then you are setting yourself up for trouble and dysfunctions begin to form.

When each of you can come into the relationship in your wholeness and in your personal sovereignty, it ignites into the true meaning of togetherness. It’s magical! Nothing could come between you and the whole world is yours to create an amazing life experience within. Sovereign relationships are a choice and that choice can only come through awareness.

What do Living & Loving It 360° Coaching and Wellness clients say

Today I am a strong independent person thanks to Martine at Living & Loving It Coaching and Wellness. Martine, by prompting me, with her compassion and understanding of my situation, has helped me to realise that it was the choices I was still making that kept me in a repetitious circle. Now after some sessions with Martine I now realise and take responsibility for those choices my life has changed. I am now attracting some wonderful people into my life; I have never been happier. Martine showed me and continues to show me that you can turn your life around, I can't thank her enough for the patience and understanding she showed me.

I have been attending Martine's services for 4 years now and only have incredible things to say about her. As a coach, she has guided me to overcome many mental barriers I have made so many positive mindset shifts , and now have the confidence and skills to execute my dream life. Since working with her, I have purchased my first home, made significant career changes, and have developed a deep understanding of myself-just to name a few. Definitely recommend Martine to anyone looking to make significant changes to their life!!

Martine is a wonderful lady who works with her heart. I have no doubts on her skill as I have experienced. She, as my life coach has helped me extensively to be able to manage my challenging career and personal life. I have learned also she is a great Yoga Teacher, she makes me love Yoga. Also I have witnessed how her works have resulted in significant positive changes to the performance of my staff at the middle management level. My family and I are very lucky to know Martine and I hope many people are as fortunate as we are. Thank you so much Martine.

I first met Martine through a friend, the best recommendation anyone can give or receive. Originally, I was a pupil in as many yoga classes I could make time for, the classes were always different and structured towards the attendees from relax to energy developing. All be it we were all at different levels of flexibility and experience we were all encouraged and respected. For me I have found a wellness I could never have attained without Martine’s guidance. A year or so later I found my self in a dark place and reached out to Martine who literally took me under her wing and taught me how to fly again. I was not even aware of life coaches, another new experience and one I would wholly recommend to anyone not just seeking answers but good mental and physical health. From down and dark I have now taken back control I am working, energetic, encouraged and who I really am, it is good to be back. Sure, there are those days however I now have a mechanism in place to manage and use then to go forward bigger, brighter, better. Best said, thank you Martine.

A year ago, I desperately needed help. All aspects of my life were destroyed. My marriage was broken down, my hopes were gone. I had no trust to my self. I started coaching with Martine Casagrande. She help me to realise my values and she taught me a new way of living. When I change than everyone/everything around me changes. My life is better than ever, with my ex-husband I have good relationship, my son is balanced, I take more time for my self and also my business is running well. I feel peace and harmony in my life. The good news is now that I have learned this new way of living, Thank you, Martine Casagrande.
