Warning signs – when to consider couple counseling
Relationship distress can be emotionally damaging to couples (and
wellbeing of children, if any). Lack in communication, trust, affection and
connection are some of the factors that can affect a healthy relationship.
Couples struggling with these issues in their relationship should consider couples
counseling. It can have a profound impact on their relationship.
Let’s talk about a few signs in a relationship that can impact the bond
and makes couples counseling
essential:
Lack of communication
In any relationship, communication decides the strength of bond. Lack of
effective communication with the partner can have a profound impact on the bond
they share. If the communication has elements, like criticism, contempt, stonewalling,
and defensiveness, couples must consider talking to a therapist to improve
their communication.
Lack of trust
Trust factor goes missing from a relationship for many reasons. Cheating
by one partner in the relationship can be a major reason behind trust issues. When
trust gets damaged, it becomes difficult to feel fulfilled in a relationship. Couples
counseling by a therapist can help them understand why there is a trust issue
and how to build it again.
More arguments with no constructive outcomes
While conflicts are normal in any relationship, you need couples
counseling when the arguments become destructive. There may be same arguments
over and over again, without any actual resolution. A therapist can help
couples argue effectively so that they can move ahead in their relationship in
a better way.
Missing the ‘spark’
The feeling of living like roommates rather than soul mates can be
devastating. It is a sign that the spark is missing. If there’s a lack of
emotional and physical intimacy in a relationship, a therapist can help.
