Episode 27 - Myths of Couples Therapy with Tonya Beattie
Tonya is back to bust some of the myths we hear about couples therapy, like couples therapy is only if you're about to break up; the therapist is always taking a side; and couples therapy is only beneficial when you plan on staying together.
As two couples therapists, we know how communicating to your partner that you want to go to couples therapy, isn't always received in the best way. That's okay, and common actually. We share different suggestions on talking about couples therapy, and ways to make this step more comfortable for your partner.
Hope you enjoy!
