Couples & marriage counseling in Pearland, TX

Relationship counseling can be beneficial for establishing the importance of vulnerability, and while talking to a counselor about your private life can seem invasive, it might actually be a way for both of you to feel more comfortable being vulnerable and open with each other. Though it’s possible that some of these defense mechanisms have been helpful for you both to get to where you are in life, sometimes our habits from the past have to change to meet the needs of the present. Signs that you and your partner might have issues that could be resolved through relationship counseling include: 

• Arguments that escalate quickly and aren’t resolved 
• Passive-aggressive behavior that inhibits communication 
• Hurtful comments or actions that aren’t addressed
• Infidelity 
• Feeling emotionally distant 
• Lack of interest in physical intimacy, or anxiety about sex 
• Lying or manipulation 

If you’ve experienced any of these signs, it’s possible that both of you could benefit from seeing a relationship counselor at Thriveworks in Pearland, TX. Reach out today to get started.

How Can Relationship Counseling Help? 

Deciding to seek counseling for your relationship or marriage can feel like a sign of defeat. As we’ve said before, it’s not. Being vulnerable with a relationship counselor can establish new ways for both of you to connect and having a third party with no stake in your relationship can help, too. Relationship counseling can assist partners to: 

• Establish healthy boundaries for communication 
• Rebuild trust after infidelity or dishonesty 
• Rekindle sexual intimacy 
• Regulate their anger or stress 
• Highlight the importance and need for compromise in their relationship

Sometimes, only one partner is interested in seeking mental health services to assist them. Loved ones can be resistant to relationship counseling for a variety of reasons, one of them being that they’re worried about being blamed or judged by the relationship counselor. It’s essential to understand that the relationship counselors at Thriveworks aren’t trained to pick sides or pass judgment on their clients. Their mission is to put both of your mental health needs first and work with you to find the coping methods and strategies you need to enjoy a better relationship with your partner.
