Why Seek Couples Therapy?
Your Relationships Are Suffering
Many people use couples therapy as a way to find balance in relationships that are challenging them to feel open, respected, and committed.
You don’t understand each other.
One of the most challenging parts of being in a relationship is understanding the other person's attachment style, communication style, and energy levels. We often feel rejected or challenged when we make assumptions about a partner's actions or words when we haven't taken time to truly understand the dynamic of a relationship. The good news is that relationship counseling can help!
You are having trouble with other relationships.
You may also be struggling to navigate non-romantic relationships. This can look like feelings of anxiety or guilt about how you spend your time. Many people are surprised that they still feel so "controlled" by their family of origin even though they are independent, successful professionals.
Unresolved trauma is causing you to feel powerless.
It's important to walk through unresolved traumas and emotions from childhood that are causing you to feel powerless when interacting with your family, and friends. You may also be too self-conscious to connect with others without feeling like you need to wear a mask.
Let's work on finding a balance between connecting with others and being true to yourself in romantic relationships!
