Relationships, marriage, and communication are not always easy. If you find yourself reading this because you are currently caught in a difficult place with your partner I hope you find something helpful here. I understand the frustration and pain of distance, silence, or arguing from a personal and professional level.
I have been married myself for 15 years and in a relationship with my husband for 20 years. We are the proud and sometimes tired parents of three small children. We have been through a lot together and it has not always been easy. It is painful when even talking to the person who means so much to you feels impossible.

Growing up my family was affected by alcoholism and other mental health issues. During early adulthood, residual effects of my childhood continued to impact my outlook and relationships. A trusted adult mentor suggested I see a counselor. At that time in my life I had been to counseling before and had some negative experiences.
I started reading and completing trainings by leading researchers and couples' therapists Drs. John and Julie Gottman. Their four decades of research described what I saw in my office with couples. Their work led me to Dr. Sue Johnson co-creator of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Emotionally focused couples therapy, EFT, drew me in because in an already overly diagnosed culture each person's behaviors were normalized.
Are you wondering if on-line counseling could possibly work with couples and if so how? The answer is a resounding yes. Whether you have just discovered your partner is having an affair or you are feeling disconnected due to the added stress and pressure you and your family are currently experiencing, on-line couple's therapy can help.
It seems true of all humans that experiencing difficult emotions is uncomfortable at best and painful at worst. Most of us want to move away from pain and the thoughts and feelings, sometimes even people, associated with that pain. Unfortunatly, the difficult emotions do not really go anywhere but instead stay with us.
You wake up groggy. Despite your good efforts to put yourself into bed early last night your mind raced as you laid restlessly awake and exhausted simultaneously. Sleep evaded you. You drag yourself out of bed and take in a good dose of caffeine throughout the morning and maybe the whole day.
Before your day has even begun you feel a familiar tightness in your chest making it hard to take a full deep breath along with a weight or ache in your shoulders.Somehow co-existing with exhaustion is a wired, jittery feeling that is always just sort of there. Throughout the day your mind is foggy making it difficult to remember things.
