Most couples don’t come in because of one big thing. They come in because it’s the same argument in twelve slightly different outfits, or because the distance got comfortable, or because one person has been doing all the asking.
These articles are for that stage. Why you keep having the same fight. How to ask a partner who doesn’t want to go, and what to do when they still say no. What actually happens in a first session (less lying on couches than you’d think). How to pick a therapist who won’t just referee. And when weekly sessions are the right call versus an intensive.
There are also pieces for couples deciding whether to stay or go, and for engaged couples who’d rather sort the money fight out before the wedding than after.
Infidelity has its own section, because it needs one. If that’s what brought you here, go to Affair recovery.
Everything here is written by the therapists at High Thrive Counseling in Indianapolis. When you’re ready to talk to a person instead of reading about one, here’s how couples counseling works with us.
