Couples Counseling
Every marriage or partnership has problems, but sometimes they seem so difficult that the two of you just don’t feel you know enough to resolve the conflicts without help. You might even question whether or not you want to continue the relationship. Marital distress can lead to deep sadness, worry, tension, and even depression.
How do you know if you should seek the help of a professional counselor? Here are just a few things to consider:
- You feel withdrawn from each other, even fundamentally dissatisfied with your marriage.
- You’ve lost the spark: disappointment in the relationship seems like an ongoing experience.
- Much of your communication ends in anger or hurt feelings.
- You fight, but you are not able to resolve the disagreements.
- You experience bitterness and blaming.
Serious, long term, committed relationships can experience these kinds of problems, too. You need not be legally married to benefit from couples counseling.
Effective couples counseling can offer successful treatments. You can:
- Feel closer and more connected
- Restore the strong emotional and physical connection you once had
- Learn to listen to each other and communicate effectively
- Express your feelings effectively and show deep affection again
- Resolve issues involving intimacy, money, children, in-laws, and even infidelity.
Beginning couples counseling is not easy, and many people find it hard to share difficulties with another person. It can be hard work and it takes time, but ultimately the process becomes easier, problems are resolved, and love is restored.
The Synergy Center counselors are trained in couples counseling, and they can teach you tools that will help you regain respect for each other, communicate effectively again, and take care of your relationship.
