You can’t be your own dentist

There comes a point where we think maybe I should go to therapy. Why do I circle such self destructive patterns? Or maybe we should go to therapy because we seem to try to communicate and then just end up hurting one another…. Absolutely go to therapy: Within the work I do,

especially as a couples therapist- I have learned some forms of couples therapy actually make a couple worse, they would be better if they didn’t have therapy This is not that type of couples work, it’s collaborative and behavioral as well as insight oriented and you both leave being able to communicate in a healthy way with compassion and empathy holding one another’s experiences as both separate and valid. One may think well why can’t we just do this on our own? I say sure go for it, but we try to do everything on our own, inter dependence. It’s not a bad thing.

If you feel isolated, go to therapy. For couples if you feel you are stuck in maladaptive patterns… go to therapy.
