Talking with a trained professional provides you the opportunity to confidentially explore and process your feelings in a safe environment. This usually assists you to decide on healthy life changes and courses of action. Almost all couples experience periodic problems as a normal part of being involved in an intimate relationship. These difficulties sometimes encourage the couple to talk more and grow closer as they work through the problems. However, at other times the problems encountered become too intense and additional help is useful.
Many couples find it helpful to discuss their problems with a trained therapist.
Therapy can provide a safe and neutral place for couples to explore and process their feelings toward each other and about their relationship. A professional therapist can help couples learn to communicate with each other more effectively. Couples have an opportunity to learn and practice new skills in session while the therapist observes and provides helpful feedback. Although the experience of being a parent is often a joyful one, this joy inevitably coexists with stress due to the high demands placed on your time and energy. This stress can be further complicated by other factors, such as being a single parent, creating a situation where the tasks of parenting can become overwhelming.
