COUPLES THERAPY IN MAPLEWOOD NJ FOR MARRIED, PARTNERED, AND NON-MARRIED COUPLES IN NEW JERSEY
Whether you are married or couples, many couples experience similar issues.
Many couples have trouble with feelings such as :
- Insecure and not sure how your partner really feels, but your gut is making you feel insecure, and you question things.
- Jealousy can spill over into feelings of jealousy – sometimes completely justified and sometimes not. It may be hard to tell what is rational and what might be irrational fears.
- Betrayal whether it is an emotional infidelity, physical and sexual infidelity, or online cheating. All these types of betrayal are very painful and upsetting.
- Lack of physical closeness which includes lack of sex, physical touch and affection or even feeling your partner just wants sex and does not really connect with you physically otherwise.
- Feeling your spouse or partner is a covert narcissist, emotional and/or verbally abusive, is not good at listening and being there for you and you feel alone and misunderstood.
- Fear and not really saying how you feel out of fear and then distancing (sometimes passive aggressive behaviors) from your partner or spouse because you are not feeling ok about something but hesitate to share how you really feel.
- Frustrated about the way things are handled regarding finances and money.
- Disappointment and frustrations over blended families issues or dealing with stepchildren and even an ex. Navigating new relationships with many family members and sometimes feeling you are in the middle which feels lousy.
- Parenting styles differences which lead to one parent feeling the other is too harsh or permissive (a complete pushover) with discipline and limit setting.
How can couples therapy help?
Couples counseling or marriage counseling are often very similar in format. A skilled and experienced couple therapist can provide a very safe place to talk. You both can share and feel your counselor is neutral and there to help.
It is never about saying who is “right” and who is “wrong”, but rather how to feel seen and heard, understood, and validated. It is about making sure we can help you create a safer space for one another in and eventually out of the session, improving communication and reducing all the types of behaviors that cause disconnect and unhappiness.
