Couples Therapy
Do You Feel Lonely or Overwhelmed?
Relationships are never easy. The added demands of everyday life often add more stress and pressure to a partnership. The range of emotions and feelings we experience under these circumstances can cause couples to go from partners—working together for a common goal—to adversaries. It is not uncommon for unhealthy patterns to take root and contribute to feeling like your relationship is stuck in a rut. In the face of these challenges, unity and effective communication is key. Couples Therapy at Fancy Therapy may be a good fit for you if you are seeking improved understanding and compassion in your relationship.
Do any of the following resonate with you?
You feel like you’re having the same argument over and over with your partner
You avoid interacting with each other, you’re just co-existing
Feel lonely even when you’re together
You have experienced a decline in intimacy
You are hopeless about the future
You've noticed that the spark in your relationship is gone
You feel fear-stricken, even in the "comfort" of your own home
With a busy lifestyle, it may feel easy to distract yourself or avoid talking about challenges in your relationship. Many couples choose to ignore such challenges—partly out of shame and perhaps in hopes that the situation will improve on its own.
When couples avoid addressing their concerns, they miss the opportunity to communicate openly and honestly, which is essential for a healthy partnership. This lack of communication can create emotional distance, making it harder to connect and support one another. Over time, feelings of frustration, sadness, or even anger can build up, leading to a breakdown in trust and intimacy.
Making your relationship a priority is making your happiness a priority. You both deserve to be happy, and that happiness often begins with acknowledging and addressing the issues at hand. By taking the courageous step to confront these challenges, you create a space for healing and growth. Seeking help through couples therapy can provide you with the tools and strategies needed to navigate your difficulties together.
How Does it Work?
Couples therapy consists of 50 or 80-minute sessions that help you work through your concerns. In addition to listening, your therapist will guide you in discussion, conflict resolution, identifying needs, and shared values. Through hearing your story, your therapist will start to get a picture of what your challenges are. You will also work together to discover what your goals are individually and as a couple. Keeping your unique goals in mind, you’ll figure out what’s needed to help you reach them. Therapists create a safe space where both parties can share openly, which can strengthen their bond and recreate that sense of teamwork and intimacy.

Common Reasons for Delaying Therapy
Many couples find the idea of starting therapy intimidating. Concerns about vulnerability and fear of confronting challenges can delay the decision to seek help.
Sometimes, there is societal stigma associated with seeking therapy, which can make couples reluctant to take that first step.
Couples might not recognize the severity of their issues or may believe they can resolve them without professional help. Or perhaps you’re not on the same page about there being issues in the relationship.
Recognizing When to Seek Therapy
If you notice frequent arguments or unresolved conflicts that don’t lead to resolution, it might be helpful to explore this in therapy.
Feeling disconnected or emotionally distant from your partner, even during shared activities, is a sign that therapy could be beneficial.
A lack of effective communication, where discussions frequently end in misunderstandings or silence, indicates the need for further exploration.
