Couples therapy

We did briefly for some communication issues. We got some good tools to use but I honestly felt like there were times that the therapist was really unfair to my husband and just took my side no matter what. It was kind of awkward.

Honestly done the world of good for us. We actually split up before trying therapy. We were really really struggling with the big shift in the relationship since becoming parents but therapy has really made us see each others points and flaws in a different light. One example was I hated how he worked 24/7 and anytime he had free he would work on bikes (to sell as a hobby) but after therapy I understand more that the way he was trying to show love to me was to be this provider (he was selling the bikes for more money). It also allowed him to open up that he was feeling a lot of pressure to be the “man”. He also now understands that I’m not constantly nagging or was trying to cause an argument I was just burnt out and exhausted. We aren’t back together yet because I really want to work on ourselves and correct the issues we have but therapy such as good eye opener for us and where we suck as partners lol. I do recommend giving it a try x

We went from almost breaking up to happily married. We went for years, started weekly, then after months and months moved to every other week, then monthly, then we were let go because we were communicating effectively. It’s been months from our last visit and it really like without it I don’t think we’d be together at all. But it made a huge difference and now we are both in a mutually beneficial, happy, and healthy relationship. If only works if both partners put in the work though. You both have to want to do better and work things out.

Very team couples therapy! Totally worth it in my opinion IF you are both ready to do some really hard work. It was very hard and painful tbh. And humbling and messy. But if you can commit and do it, it really works wonders

@Haley I think that’s what I’m getting nervous about being so honest in a controlled environment, I’m not sure if I’m ready to head home truths 🤣

If it helps you don’t have to lay everything out at once. You can go for as long as you need, so start slowly and overtime I think you’ll feel more comfortable sharing. It’s definitely a process, but it’s a worthy process. ❤️

We’re in it now & I think it is helping. We had (have) a LOT of issues so it hasn’t changed things overnight but there has definitely been notable progress over the last few months. If both parties are willing to put the work in & be honest about their own faults & ways they contribute to the issues in the relationship then it can do wonders.
