Managing Geographic Distance
When two people who live in distant places meet and want to see more of each other, the seeds of a long-distance romantic relationship are sown. The questions that the new couple asks are not the same as those posed by partners whose life events separate them after they have developed a stable relationship, complete with a shared history and culture, dreams for the future, and a network of friends and family.
Military couples separated by deployment. Student couples, studying at different schools. Couples who are living together when one of them gets a job in a distant location. This problem addresses primarily the first kind of long-distance relationship, one about which I speak from firsthand experience. Its unique challenges include confronting those very tasks of developing patterns, a shared vision, and a communal context, as well as exploring the more critical romantic relationship demands: appreciating how much closeness each person wants or can accept, when that needs to change, and how to change it.
Long distance is not an insurmountable challenge: Many couples weather the difficulty quite well.
How hypnosis may help you?
During your sessions and under hypnosis, our hypnotist will guide you to:
-
Do what you can to reduce emotional stress and tension at the individual level; such relief could benefit the relationship.
-
Engage in frequent visits (which are associated with more sexual satisfaction), but don’t be too focused on how many miles you're separated from your partner. Couples who live very far apart might have a heightened awareness of their long-distance relationship and might be especially compelled to invest a lot of energy into building feelings of connection and intimacy. Those are healthy relationship behaviors.
-
Foster a sense of stability in your relationship by discussing and planning its future. When couples see themselves as a team working through a geographical separation with the same goals in mind, they feel more grounded and certain about their relationship.
-
Talk openly about what it means to be in a long-distance relationship and bring to light any misconceptions (e.g,. that such relationships are less happy, etc.). By challenging false or negative beliefs about long-distance relationships, you might be able to create a unified belief that such relationships can and do succeed. This belief may become a self-fulfilling prophecy, although the data provided allow for an alternative explanation, that people shape their judgments based on their own experiences.
