Progress in couples therapy often happens slowly, quietly, and in ways that are easy to miss if you are looking for something dramatic.
You will know that couples therapy is working when you notice the gradual softening that happens when you start to understand each other differently. It is the pause before reacting, the gentle touch after an argument, and the courage to speak with vulnerability instead of holding it in. It is realizing that repair comes more easily, that affection feels more natural, and that connection begins to flow again.
Healing in relationships is rarely linear or loud. It is built in the small, consistent moments when both people choose to stay present and keep reaching for each other.
