Couples therapy is not just for people on the edge of separation & divorce – therapy can help us understand our conflicts, and deepen our connection with each other.

It seems that people will tolerate a significantly distressed partnership for a number of years before considering seeking couples therapy help.

As we individually shift and change throughout our life stages – we naturally impact the couple. We can become blind-sided by our changing selves and responsibilities in terms of our ‘couple’- such as careers, the business of looking after our children, and later our aging parents.  And whence we once knew ‘me & thee’ we can understandably forget to see the person we once respected, found attractive, cherished, and loved.

Simply, like a plant – relationships need intention, attention, and care. Otherwise, they can become undernourished, depleted and thereafter, wilt.

Couples therapy provides a safe space in which to share difficult feelings and ask uncomfortable questions. It is also a space for appreciation, exploration, admiration, and connection.

Whether it is to see if there is growth potential, or perhaps to end well – either way, coming for couples therapy is NOT failure. Instead, it is an adult way to truthfully observe the current dynamic between you, and thereafter deciding which steps to take next.
