How therapy helps
A therapist offers a neutral space where each person is heard, helps you see the pattern that keeps repeating, and teaches practical skills for talking and resolving conflict. Individual sessions bring clarity even if your partner does not attend.
Approaches therapists use
- Emotionally focused therapy (EFT)
- The Gottman method
- Communication skills training
- Family therapy
When to get help
If these signs last more than two weeks, or start to affect your work, relationships or sleep, it is a good time to talk to a professional. You do not need to wait until things get worse.
