Couples Therapy
Couples therapy isn't about deciding who's right — it's about understanding the negative cycle you both get trapped in and learning to step out of it together. The best approaches (Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method) are structured and give you tools from the first sessions.
How it works
Early sessions map your conflict patterns. Then you practice new ways of communicating — slowing down fights, expressing needs without criticism, and repairing after ruptures. Most couples attend weekly for a few months.
