Couples therapy myths debunked!
Myth #1 Debunked | Couples therapy is for people with "serious" relationship issues - couples therapy is meant to be preventative...the goal is to implement healthy systems before problems even arise (i.e. therapy)
Myth #2 Debunked | Therapy is common sense...why pay extra money for someone to tell you what you already know - "Common sense is wisdom that applies to everyone, but therapy gives insight, which is wisdom unique to you." Howes
Myth #3 Debunked | Couples therapy is unnecessary when you can just talk to friends - While talking to friends can be therapeutic in a way, therapists are highly trained professionals who've spent years learning/practicing how to diagnose and treat cognitive, emotional, behavioral and relational issues
I'd love to start a conversation! Send me a message with your answer to this question: "What therapy myths are you believing that are holding you back from starting therapy today?"

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “It would be nice if we could go back in time to those unspoiled moments in our relationship before hurt, doubt, and betrayal ever touched us.” You think about the times where you both held one another and never missed an opportunity to say “I love you.” It was a beautiful point in time where you realized that nothing else in life meant as much to you as your relationship.
We’ve all been there, including me. One thing that I’ve recognized in my journey of healing my marriage is that, even though I could not go back in time, I could repair what was broken in my relationship. You can face difficult moments, and learn how to care for and mend your relationship. You can move past issues that have plagued the relationship in order to rebuild the special connection you once shared. I am happy to say that I am happily married, recently celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, and we are blessed to have two beautiful children (22 & 18), along with two awesome dogs (Rio & Hershey)! If we can overcome to become greater, you can too!
My goal is to assist other couples down the path of healing. My goal is to help couples “Not be afraid of what they have to overcome, in order to experience the joy of what they will become.” Great marriages don't just happen-it takes work to achieve God’s design.
