Couples Therapy for Communication Issues
Online Therapy in South Carolina
Do you feel a thousand miles away from your spouse, even when they’re sitting right next to you?
Maybe you just realized that you're both on your phones or zoned out watching tv way more often than you actually talk with each other. Communication issues can snowball into conflict and disconnect, leaving you both feeling stuck.
You’re not sure how you got to this point. One day you felt close and loved. Then, weeks, months, or maybe years went by. You realize now that somewhere along the way things got off. You’ve lost the connection that made you more than roommates. The times when you used to sit together and talk have since turned into boring nights staring at a screen.
In the spaces of your relationship that used to be filled with happiness, you now find disappointment, boredom, and loneliness.
You want to have real conversations that make you feel close.
You got to that point where you finally said “wow, our relationship really needs help.” It can be hard to see how quickly communication issues can escalate and damage your relationship.
You want to connect again, instead of living parallel to each other. You want to tackle the challenges in your relationship, instead of shamefully covering them up with a well-rehearsed routine.
It’s a scary place to be, stuck in the fear of comparison and how your relationship lives up to the standards you set for it. It keeps you in a pattern that just pushes you farther apart.
It's time to break old patterns in your relationship.
Maybe you feel like you're pushing, trying to open the lines of communication and get your partner to connect with you. You've tried countless ideas to fix your relationship: scheduling date nights, reading books, googling how to fix your relationship. You’re probably the one reading this right now. And you probably feel very alone and hopeless.
Or maybe you feel shut down. You're exhausted with how things have been. So you find yourself pulling away. Your partner’s constant push for connection may be overwhelming or feel nagging to you. You don’t know what else to do and you feel like you’re hitting a brick wall each time you do try, so it’s easier to stay quiet than to risk disappointing your partner or yourself. You probably feel isolated and helpless.
By committing to therapy and working through communication issues, you’re giving your relationship a second chance, renewed hope.
Couples therapy will be a time that you and your partner learn to communicate again. You will be able to express your own needs and worries and grow closer to each other as you feel secure to open up. It’s a challenging and rewarding process in which you bring your relationship back to life. You open new doors to communication and find more engaging ways of being honest with each other. Your intimacy improves as you come to understand and accept each other, for all your similarities and differences.
Resolve communication issues and deepen your connection.
I love this work of helping couples improve their communication and grow closer together. I see how easy it is to get stuck in a pattern where you struggle to understand each other. I can guide you to recognize, understand, and change the pattern you both fall into.
I can help you strengthen your relationship, improve your connection, and find intimacy again. There is hope.
It's not about just talking to each other more; it's about understanding how to talk to each other, and how to listen. To understand what your partner needs from you and to effectively communicate what you need from your partner. It’s about sharing your needs and creating a secure relationship where you both find hope, care, and the comfort of lasting love.
