Every relationship has its own pace with multiple ups and downs; there are moments of passion, excitement and intimacy, and there are moments of frustration and disagreements. Both are signs of a healthy and balanced relationship. But when the balance is tilted and feelings of being distant with your partner get heightened, that’s when you know things are not going in the right direction. Your friends give you multiple suggestions about spicing up your sex life or going out on more dates to make your relationship healthy again, but sometimes nothing seems to work. Even when both of you are trying to fix things with all your might, things just don’t seem to go your way.
Cases like these can cause emotional distress and are a threat to one’s mental well-being. If ending the relationship is something that you want to avoid, then one option you could explore is couples therapy. Professionals at Fernandez Community Center in Raleigh, NC provide a safe environment for you and your partner to resolve your differences and start a new phase of your relationship with renewed trust and compassion.
