When and why do we need couples therapy?

Often life stressors, transitions, and our daily routines make us get into unhealthy patterns of communication with our partner such as arguments, blame, and conflicts. Others resort to ‘silent treatment’, and make it more difficult and confusing for the other partner to understand, and oneself to keep the resentment locked in the mind and body. Often these patterns in intimate relationships are related to our past experiences in family, which needs the support of a professional space to unfold the layers of loneliness. The cause may just be the fear of being hurt, and we continue to deal with this fear with more unhealthy coping strategies. To uncover, identify, and release the damaging coping strategies; and adopt more meaningful ways of connection, professional help becomes the need of the hour.

Can we come to a common ground and stay connected?

How long is the duration of the session?

In couples therapy, sessions typically last 60-90 minutes, allowing for in-depth discussions. If the therapist meets with each partner individually, the session duration is usually 50 minutes. Online psychotherapy offers flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs. This structure helps couples navigate their challenges more effectively.

How would therapy help in transforming relationship dynamics? 

Online couples therapy in Toronto helps partners recognize their emotions and understand their triggers, fostering better communication. Psychotherapy emphasizes how reactions are received and interpreted through individual personalities and past experiences. It's essential to evaluate whether simple daily gestures, such as hugs, holding hands, and acts of kindness, are present in your relationship. These small interactions can significantly impact emotional connection. Do you and your partner feel valued and appreciated?
