Many couples find that, over time, they don’t communicate, or have much of an emotional connection with their partner anymore. It can be a scary situation to realise that things aren’t as they used to be or that things never were right, but it doesn’t mean the end.
Relationship counselling can help you both learn how to communicate to each other in a way that is helpful. You can also learn how to connect on an emotional level. Whether you’ve just experienced a trauma or just found out that you’re pregnant, a counsellor can help you work through the problems and get back on track.
When considering relationship counselling, it’s important to understand that your situation may not be ‘fixed’ in one visit. The goal of a counsellor is to help you learn how to talk to each other in a more appropriate way. Instead of yelling or being snarky, you’ll learn to discuss the situation at length until a resolution is available. After a while, you may be able to do that on your own, but the counsellor will be there to help you at first. Just make sure that you both feel comfortable with the professional and that they listen to both of you.
From 2 to 3 offers a variety of methods and techniques for treating emotional problems between spouses, especially those who are going to have a baby or recently had one. Children can bring a lot of joy to the world, but they can also bring a lot of confusion and stress. Being on the same page or helping someone through PTSD can be impossible for some without professional help, which is why they’re available. Relationship counselling can strengthen your bond and help you work through your problems more easily and quickly.
