I didn’t feel like working out. That’s not unusual for me.
“Why don’t we have sex anymore? We used to be all over each other”, John said in his first couples therapy session with his wife, Anna.
“I keep telling my husband we need to go to couples counseling but he refuses, what can I do?”
Often, it’s not a big bang that ends a marriage (though it certainly can be from betrayal and other significant relational traumas).
Love…that’s why we are in a relationship, right? Because we’re in love.
“I bring up what’s bothering me and he just shuts down. All I get is silence. He won’t talk to me”.
I attended a wedding the other weekend and weddings always have me contemplate the work that I do.
This hit me like a ton of bricks when I first heard it:
“We think that we’ve set up trusting relationships with people because we’re always there to help them.”
