Couples Therapy & Marriage Counseling

Breaking Toxic Patterns in Relationships

Couples therapy is often brought up either during a time of crisis or as a last-ditch effort to save the marriage or a relationship before a looming divorce or a breakup. Indeed, couples counseling is one of the best things you could do in such circumstances. However, these are NOT the ONLY times that therapy should be explored.

If you know that something is not quite right in your relationship and would like to figure out why, therapy is a great way to do so. In fact, until you examine the core beliefs you have about relationships, you will keep attracting the same toxic patterns that sabotage you and your romantic partner.

Couples therapy can help with the following issues, among many others:

Communication Issues

  • Misunderstandings
  • Misinterpretation
  • Being invalidated
  • Feeling unheard

Conflict Issues

  • Unconstrucive criticism
  • Defensiveness
  • Lack of committment
  • Contempt

Connection Issues

  • Lack of emotional intimacy
  • Feeling insecure
  • Loneliness
  • Lack of trust

You know that you and your partner are committed to this relationship, but you haven’t been able to find a way to connect the way you used to. It seems as if there is a glass wall between you preventing you from making contact.

At times, it may seem as though you married someone who is least capable of giving you what you want. BUT you may want it from your spouse’s part that was shut down in the past. During couples therapy, you and your partner will not only get the chance to heal your relationship but also reconnect with a part of yourselves that you did not think was there.

The relationship can be a place for growth
