Is Individual or Couples Therapy Right for You?
It’s a very good question, particularly if you find that your relationship with your partner is a large part of what you want to address.

Do you have a roadmap for defining a good relationship with your partner?
At its core, we all want and long for secure adult attachment. That’s when partners have total trust in each other, which creates a safe haven knowing that your partner will always stand by you no matter what.
This episode of Therapist Unplugged has it all! Hear more on how infidelity, the birth of a first child, and chronic illness can create attachment wounds that couples struggle to address. You will learn what takes couples under, how families influence the way we connect with our partners, how the blame game contributes to a crazy dance, and why giving language to emotions is essential for a closer connection. This episode is for couples and therapists alike!

"You know, when couples come to us, it's always about communication problems. And then when they sit in front of you, you know what happens? It's the blame game - so they're shooting arrows at each other. And one of the key pieces of doing couples work is the ultimate reframe, which is how the couples dance..that dance takes them under and that dance is the enemy rather than each other."

Anytime you lose anything, whether that thing be a person or a time period of your life, it is fundamentally the death of something.
