Couples counselling experience??

[howtoparentandstaymarried]

DH and I are struggling in our relationship since having DC (3 year old and 1 year old)

For those of you that have tried couples therapy would you mind sharing your experience?

Couples therapy was so good for us. It's a great space to have discussions that may lead to upset at home and it's good being held accountable for your side of the issues. I think it's always important to find one that works for you but when you do it's really helpful.

There's this stigma attached to therapy that if you're going, you must already be over. I find that ridiculous. You go to a doctor for a medical problem, you don't wait until you're dead so I don't are why therapy is seen differently.

We had great chats with our therapist when we went through tough times when I unexpectedly fell pregnant. We're now parents of a 5 year old and are doing well. Therapy helped us see things clearer in a time we were both desperate for the other to do better.

we tried it for a few sessions , i found it very emotional and cried through most sessions , was helpful in the sense it made us communicate and be honest about how we felt about issues we were having , he kept talking over me and answering for me / us which she pulled him up on and then he said he felt like he had been told off 😕In the end i refused to go as it was giving me anxiety just thinking about going , i think i gave up and pretended everything was ok 🙄which it wasnt and still isn't X Thats just my experience though X Good luck

Having kids can put a strain on things, and sometimes couples therapy can be a helpful way to work through challenges. My partner and I went to therapy a while back, and it helped us communicate better. It wasn’t easy, but we got some tools to handle our differences.
