It’s natural for relationship to have ups and downs. Sometimes it can be helpful to see a therapist to work through things. Perhaps you are finding yourselves in a repeating pattern of conflict and it feels impossible to shift out of it. Or maybe something traumatic has happened within the relationship and you both need some support in order to talk about it. It might be that you are thinking of furthering your commitment to one another, and you want to think it through with someone neutral first. Maybe your relationship feels like it is ending, and you want to feel more certain in that decision or have some help to end more amicably. It could be that you want to start or grow your family or are merging families together. There are many reasons people seek therapy as a couple.
Seeing a therapist as a couple offers you a space together which is new to you, and it offers you a therapist who is separate to you as individuals and as a couple. Couple therapy can offer space which enables a couple to be less defensive and more open to each other and their relationship in order to move from a position of stuckness.
