It can be difficult to seek assistance when in a marriage, as it can be very easy to brush even small things under the rug for the sake of maintaining what clients see as a healthy dynamic. However, everyone who is in a committed partnership can benefit from marital counseling, not just those that are working through significant emotional problems. The therapeutic space functions as a neutral space in which both partners can have an open dialogue with one another without worrying about scrutiny or being shut down.
TalkSpace discusses how marriage counseling won’t always feel emotionally comfortable; however, working through significant issues with a partner and/or oneself won’t always be easy. It’s important to identify the times and conversations in which one feels particularly uncomfortable/defensive, and it can be worth digging into that discomfort to potentially reveal something more below the surface.
