It seems you keep having the same arguments over and over. Although you want to feel heard by him, every time you express yourself, he gets upset.
The constant arguments make it so that, eventually, you decide it is easier not to speak up and instead try to coexist the best way possible.
At the rate the two of you are going, you know that lack of communication will only keep pulling you farther and farther apart. This is not what you had planned when you started this relationship, and it’s not what you wanted.
You wonder whether it is possible to return to how things were in the beginning.
The most important relationship in your life can often be the one that causes the most distress. The reason it is causing you so much distress is that it is such an important relationship in your life.
When you value a relationship so much, it is worth the struggle of learning to communicate and reconcile so you can become stronger together.
Couples therapy at Rising Pines Counseling Services helps partners reconnect, communicate effectively, and rebuild trust.
Whether your relationship is facing challenges or you want to enhance your connection, our sessions provide guidance and tools to create a stronger, healthier partnership.
Kayla Pineda, LCSW, is specially trained in The Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1 and 2. The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman.
This method is founded on the Sound Relationship House Theory. It has primary objectives of disarming conflicting verbal communication, increasing intimacy, respect, and affection, removing barriers that contribute to feelings of stagnancy, and fostering a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the relationship.
Every relationship can benefit from some maintenance because conflicts and issues will arise. The best approach is to seek help before small conflicts become major disagreements.
When you seek couples therapy, we support your relationship and help you have honest conversations where you can voice your concerns and needs. Then we seek solutions.
