OTHER FAQs
IS COUPLES THERAPY RIGHT FOR MY RELATIONSHIP?
One of the most common questions we receive is, “Will therapy help my relationship?”. If you find yourself asking yourself this, the likely answer is “yes!”. Therapy can help couples identify and address the underlying issues causing conflict in their relationship.
The longer answer is that there are going to be bumps along the way. Each person may be coming to the table with a different awareness of the issues in the relationship and usually both partners will be bringing a different perspective about the relationship history. With the help of a trained therapist, couples can develop new communication skills and strategies, improve emotional and physical intimacy, and work towards rebuilding a strong foundation.
How soon is too soon for therapy?
Can therapy help to improve intimacy in a relationship?
There are often three underlying reasons for a lack of intimacy: emotional distance, physical distance, or a lack of emotional connection.
The common bond between the three is a breakdown of communication between partners. When couples are not communicating effectively, they can feel disconnected from one another and struggle to understand each other’s needs, desires, and feelings. This can lead to feelings of frustration, anger, and disappointment, which can add stress to what might already be challenging day for either of you.
When communication is lacking, partners may avoid discussing intimate topics or may struggle to express their desires and boundaries. This can lead to misunderstandings, miscommunication, and unmet expectations, which can further erode intimacy and may bring about feelings of insecurity, self-doubt, and low self-esteem, which show up in a lack of physical desire.
When couples are able to communicate effectively, they are better equipped to meet each other’s needs and maintain a strong emotional connection, which is essential for a fulfilling and intimate relationship
How can therapy help to rebuild trust in a relationship?
Trust is at the foundation of every relationship. When trust is broken, it can feel like what was once a place of stability or peace has been torn apart. A trained therapist can help couples explore the reasons why trust was broken and to work towards rebuilding that foundation in their relationship. This might include helping couples to understand each other’s needs, wants, and expectations, and to develop new strategies for improving their communication and connection.
