When a couple is going through difficulties, the most sensible thing is to ask for help, however, sometimes, due to personal, social, and cultural reasons, we don't do it, thinking that perhaps if we ask for help, we will be seen in one way or another. But definitely in any type of relationship, communication is the most important thing.
In my case, my partner and I started late to try to communicate, but at least we started.
A complicated job since we are a couple of different nationalities living in a third country with a young boy which entails difficulties and, of course, cultural differences and disagreements that are not easy to handle.
Through working with Renate we managed to reach an agreement that we both feel confortable with which we think can really help us as individuals and as a couple.
For me at first it was very difficult to accept it, but with the passage of time and the sessions that I have now had individually with Renate I am beggining to accept it.
Her sessions have also helped me delve deeper into myself and my past experiences to try to understand who I am at this moment as a man, as a father, as a partner and as an individual and who I want to become.
I am a Mexican, Latino man living in Europe and I can say that it has been very interesting how Renate has been able to understand and known how to guide the sessions, always offering a safe space for reflection and introspection, taking into account and respecting my origins and my way of seeing life, being attentive to listening and understanding, offering fun and openness at every step.
This process that I am experiencing, although difficult, is a process that is definitely changing my life and I can say that so far I have done a lot of work myself but without a doubt I could have not done it alone.
And I am forever greatful with Renate.
