You’re worried about your relationship. You and your partner have been arguing more than usual.
You don’t feel as connected to your partner as you once did.
Now, instead of communicating, you withdraw.
There is little to no romance or intimacy in your marriage.
Somedays, you’re not sure if your relationship is even worth fighting for.
Relationships are hard. Disagreements are normal. In fact, all couples argue. We’re human after all. However, the mark of a solid relationship is how these disagreements are resolved and handled by partners. When a couple chooses to insult, withdraw, or ignore their partner, that’s when trouble arises.
When this happens, couples often get stuck in a cycle of negativity where they have the same arguments over and over again and nothing truly gets resolved. When you become stuck in a relationship rut, get help from a couples therapist who specializes in marriage counseling in Wake Forest, NC.
Common things that bring partners to couples therapy and marriage counseling:
Constant arguing
Infidelity and affair recovery
Sexual and intimacy issues
Parenting discrepancies
Blending families, cultures, and religions
In-law issues and concerns
Financial stress
Mental health issues such as anxiety, depression or OCD
Codependency
Chronic health issues
Your Marriage Should Thrive, Not Just Struggle To Survive.
When relationships are struggling, couples often develop a negative mindset. And, assume incorrectly that their partner is trying to hurt or annoy them. In fact, they cope with feelings of discontentment by doing or saying things that are unkind and hurtful. Over time, this can lead to feelings of discontentment and a lack of intimacy.
You can have a relationship that will stand the test of time and be full of love. This means overcoming the challenges you’re experiencing in your relationship. You just may need some support in doing so. That’s where our team of couples therapists can help. We are Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused couples therapy trained counselors who specialize in providing relationship therapy. We offer relationship therapy to couples during any stage of their relationship. Whether you are dating, living together, engaged, newly married, together for a long time, or considering divorce, we can help.
Our Approach to couples therapy and marriage counseling
You may be wondering if it’s too late to save your marriage, or if it’s even worth saving. Perhaps you’re scared to even try because of something from the past. Or, you can’t face another disappointment. But, we’re here to say that you can save your relationship if you want to. It just takes some work and support from a trained couples therapist. At My Therapist, we have skilled clinicians who specialize in offering the highest quality marriage counseling and couples therapy. We use the most well-researched forms of couples therapy. These include the Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. We use them because we know these approaches work.
We will begin our therapy work by getting to know each other. During this time, both you and your partner will be given the Gottman Relationship Check-Up, a relationship assessment, so we can better understand the issues and concerns you are facing. We’ll also want to meet with both of you separately before we begin our work together. This allows your couples therapist to gather useful information about both partners. Such as their personalities, their concerns, and communication approaches. Then, we will work together to heal the pain caused by past actions, improve communication, and problem-solve effectively.
What to expect After couples therapy
You will feel a renewed sense of hope for the future of your relationship. And, you’ll no longer dread spending time with your partner or spouse. While we can’t promise you won't experience disagreements and conflict in your relationship. But, our hope is that after meeting with one of our couples therapists, you will have the skills you need to cope with these challenges and communicate effectively with each other.
It is our hope that you will fall back in love with your partner and rekindle the spark you used to feel when you were together. After relationship counseling, we hope you will feel like your partner sees and hears you. This will help you feel respected and valued which is essential in a partnership. Ultimately, our goal is to help you and your partner learn the tools necessary to have lasting love and happiness in your relationship.
