Reviving Connection: Benefits of Therapy to Improve Romantic Relationships.

Couples Therapy:

When in a relationship it is a guarantee that there will be ups and downs. Certain times these ups, and downs can last a day and other times they can feel like a lifetime. Healthy relationships consist of a balance of both where their experiences will either bond them together or damage the relationship. When times get rough, exploring strategies where mending the relationship techniques become vital. Seeking professional marriage counselling can help couples explore their wants and needs whether they are emotional or physical as well as help improve communication of these needs. Some problems are not so easy to solve and here at trust therapy we have a variety of counselors who can help provide step-by-step techniques to slowly rebuild what was once strong within the relationship. 

Marriage counselling seems like it is accepting that the relationship is unsolvable on your own. This myth leads couples to stay together and continue developing unhealthy communication patterns and losing trust. In reality, marriage counselling is a tool available to help develop a relationship even at its healthy stages. The same way we see a doctor when we are healthy for annual checkups or when we see them when we feel ill. We reach out to professionals to ensure that we are in the best position possible. 

A common problem for couples is that because it is a joint decision, many couples can have one partner willing to reach out for counseling and the other not so much. Do not worry, this is very common. That is why at Trust Therapy we offer free consultations where we can discuss where the relationship is and how to improve its current state. We provide affordable, confidential, and solution-focused sessions virtually as well as in person where both members can discuss, open-up, and feel safe about their insecurities or concerns. Feel free to reach out to us today to book a free consultation and we will reach out within 24 hours! 

Most common couple’s problems to seek out marriage counselling:

1. Communication struggles: whether early in the relationship or years in, failure to communicate respectfully and openly will always be a detriment to the relationship. You may find yourself holding back from speaking your mind, fearing offending our partner, struggling to find the words to express your emotions etc. These moments are trivial to developing relationship habits that can worsen the development of the relationship and instead lead to a potential downfall. 

1. Infidelity: It appears that infidelity is a rising cause of breakups and divorces amongst the modern couples. Finding out about our partner cheating or being involved in infidelity lead to only two things. The first one being termination of the relationship, and the second being a continuing relationship that has lost all of its foundational trust and commitment, leading to an unhealthy relationship. If unprocessed, this problem tends to spiral into larger and larger problems. Counselling to process, accept, and re-establish the relationship may be your best bet for healing the relationship.

   
   

2. Financial struggles: Almost every individual regardless of their love life has experienced financial stress. When in a relationship, these stresses can heavily impact the relationships cohesiveness and lead to unhealthy communication, trust, and disloyal acts. Financial struggles are almost a guarantee to all but how we react and communicate with our partners about these stresses is the most essential part of getting back on track. If you find yourself in this dilemma or fear that this is a close possibility, reach out for marriage counseling to establish.
