Therapy for Relationship Issues

All relationships go through their ups and downs. Relationships are hard. No matter how well-suited people in a relationship are or how much love they have for each other, daily stress and life can take their toll and conflicts can arise.

Problems in a relationship can be challenging to resolve. It can be difficult to know how to get back to a good place. This is when therapy is a good option.

No matter whether a relationship is romantic or platonic, they form a very important part of our lives. They can bring us a great deal of happiness and when they are not going well, they can cause us a lot of turmoil.

What are relationship issues?

Fulfilling relationships can help our self-esteem and improve our well-being. But, at times, relationships take work in order to keep them strong and healthy.

And, while for some people relationships come easy, for others, relationships can be difficult. If relationships do not come naturally to you but you crave companionship in your life, therapy can be a helpful tool. But even for people that easily enter relationships, there can be times when the relationship can become strained. 

When relationships are not going well, it can have a negative effect on our lives. This loss of connection can leave you feeling anxious and can impact your happiness. 

What causes relationship issues?

Relationship issues can be caused by one major conflict or event. However, relationship issues can also be caused by a buildup of problems. Either way, these issues can end up causing a wedge between people in a relationship.

Some common types of issues in relationships are:

• Affairs or betrayals of some kind
• Separation or divorce
• Arguments or communication problems
• Trauma
• Sexual issues or lack of intimacy
• Family issues
• Imbalanced responsibilities

How therapy can help?

Therapy for your relationships can be undertaken as a couple, a group or as an individual. If you are unsure what is best for you, you can contact your therapist and find out from them what they would suggest. 

Therapy is often used to address problems or issues in a relationship but it can be helpful at any time in a relationship. Therapy can be used to strengthen communication and bonds even in a healthy relationship. 

Your relationship may benefit from therapy if:

• You have a disagreement that you aren’t able to solve
• You have trouble expressing your feelings
• There has been a stressful event that has affected one or both of you
• You are having trouble making decisions in the relationship
• You want a stronger relationship
