In today's episode, we dive into the complex world of couples therapy and explore some of the common fears, concerns, and misconceptions that prevent partners from seeking help. Join me as I share insights on the stigma surrounding therapy, the impact of shame, and the transformative power of vulnerability. We'll discuss how investing time and resources into your relationship can build resilience and demonstrate a deep commitment to your partnership.

We'll also tackle the fear of blame and conflict that often holds couples back from confronting difficult issues. I'll emphasize the importance of finding a skilled facilitator who can create a safe, non-judgmental space for both partners to open up and grow. Throughout the episode, we'll explore the role of resistance to change, the impact of previous negative experiences, and the belief that couples should be able to fix things on their own.
