When is the right time to try couples counseling?

12/19/2019

For better or worse. Those words seem easy to say at the time, but when worse gets really bad, many couples are ready to throw in the towel. That’s because they didn’t seek help in time and let things get out of hand.

​​The stigma of counseling

it can be hard to make the decision to go to couples counseling because it means you have to face your problems and admit you and your partner are on shaky ground. That can be incredibly scary to admit. It’s not dissimilar to thinking something may be wrong with your health, but you’re too scared to face the music and so you ignore the issue until it gets way too big.

Beyond having to admit you and your partner have problems, there’s also the uncomfortableness of not being familiar with therapy. It can definitely feel a bit mysterious and scary sitting down with a total stranger and sharing personal information about your relationship.

For these reasons, far too many couples what their marriage issues sit on the back burner, percolating. But the better option is to nip an issue in the bud as soon as it rears its ugly head.

To save you some confusion, here are some of the most common relationship issues that typically require some time in couples counseling.

​​Broken trust

Whenever there is a major breach of trust, as in an extramarital affair, there is usually a need for couples counseling. Therapist can help you both rebuild the foundation of trust.

​More frequent argument

Two each relationship, a little rain must fall. When you start having frequent torrential downpour’s, it’s time to ask for help. An increase in fighting and intensity of fighting often mean significant problems under the surface.

​You’ve experienced a devastating event

Life throws us events in our lives that are hard to rebound from. Whether it’s a financial loss or the loss of a loved one, as in the loss of a child, the trauma can change the way you and your partner relate to one another.

These are just a few of the reasons you and your partner should consider exploring couples counseling. It’s always better to seek help and try and go it alone.

If you’re interested in treatment options, please be in touch with us. We’d be happy to discuss how we may be able to help.
