for emotional abuse and complex relationship dynamics.
WHY NOTHING HAS WORKED
WHAT YOU’VE BEEN TOLD
“You just need to learn to communicate better.”
“It’s a 2-way street, and your problems are co-created.”
“You need to learn to forgive and let go of the hurt.”
WHAT WE ACTUALLY FIND
Pervasive defensiveness
Power & control dynamics
Lack of emotional safety
Emotional Abuse Trauma
WHAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE STARTING COUPLES WORK
Pervasive defensiveness & lack of accountability
One partner controls the narrative and dominates the relationship
Loss of identity and sense of self, leading to self-doubt
Developed by Dr. Hawkins and Dr. Hudson, the Relationship Dynamics Assessment™ is a free screening tool that measures your relationship health across seven domains.
Is it communication issues, or something more serious? Are you dealing with emotional immaturity, or emotional abuse? Is there a lack of emotional safety in your relationship? Find out the answers to these questions and more.
Marriage Recovery Center helps individuals and couples recognize and move beyond destructive patterns that prevent them from allowing true healing to take place.
The Comprehensive Healing Pathway is the culmination of Dr. Hawkins’ decades long career dedicated to cracking the code when it comes to helping high conflict couples who have “tried everything.”
