Maybe you don’t feel heard; somehow your message keeps getting missed and it doesn’t matter how loud or silent you get. You might be having a hard time reconnecting or understanding each other. Perhaps, you are grieving a painful breakup that has made you realize that there is an underlying pattern. Or just maybe, your inner child is screaming out and you are having a hard time making sense of your fears, anger, grief or shame. You need to heal.

Ok, honestly...marriage is really wonderful, but also really freaking hard. We all dream of the rainbows, butterflies, and happy endings. But maybe you're finding yourself in the not so wonderful part of your marriage where everything is painful and icky. If your relationship has been rocky for a little while now, just know that there is still hope. It's not the end of your story. The work to make things better is going to be gritty and hard and you'll probably want to call it quits from time to time. But (insert cliche about hard work here). Let's get to work.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
