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.

What do you think about when you hear the expression ‘date night’? You may need some dating advice!
Often people suffocate the growth of a relationship by defining a destination for a date. Have you thought of dating without a destination?
Suppose you don’t know what kind of feeling you’re after? In that case, it doesn’t really matter the destination, whether you’re at a really nice restaurant or at home watching TV, if don’t know how to find a spark of excitement and adventure. In that case, dating can feel more transactional than playful and connective.
So, how can couples be both present and playful?
In this episode, Laurie sits down with Cory Montfort for a quick chat about how to date your partner by focusing on the feeling instead of the destination with a few tips on finding the spark.
"I really try to remind couples that they didn't get where they're at in their relationship on purpose, whether it's because they feel disconnected or unhappy. They didn't wake up one day and say, 'I think we'll just stop being fun'. The normalcy of being together all the time can kind of take over and make it difficult to feel adventurous and playful. So, it doesn't really matter the destination if you don't know how to be together and spark something."
