Going to couples therapy means I am weak and/or have failed in my relationship.
This is a MYTH. Here at the Vaughan Relationship Centre, we believe going to couples therapy means your strong. It takes courage, and a sense of determination to make the decision to seek out the help of a professional. We see that you value your relationship. There is something to be proud of when you can admit that you really want something (in this case, your relationship), but you’re not entirely sure how to get it.
Think of it this way, did you fail your high school math class just because you raised your hand and asked a few questions? No. Therapy is like this idea; sometimes, we know what the final calculation is supposed to be, but we can’t figure out which part of the formula we got wrong. This is why you asked your teacher to look at your work objectively, and identify what needs adjusting.
A couples therapist does this exact thing, and they will help you in a way that creates long-lasting solutions so that the foundation of your relationship holds up. Not everyone has been reared to have healthy relationships, nor have they been taught what a healthy relationship even looks like. Therefore, going to couples therapy does not mean you failed, it could mean you were never given the proper tools to begin with and now you’re trying to grow, learn, and succeed.
