About
Most therapists, if they’re honest, will tell you that couples therapy is among the most challenging work they do. At Makin Wellness, your couples therapist will help put out the fires, establish conditions for productively sorting through the fog, creating a relationship where everyone can grow, and find a way to connect with both you and your partner and navigate the landmines you’ve laid for each other. That’s not easy: Everyone needs and desires to be heard, to not feel “ganged up on” but it’s equally important that everyone be honest about what isn’t working and what potential solutions there could be instead.
Couples therapy is hard work for those of you in the relationship, too. Signing up for couples therapy probably means having your partner expose some of your messier stuff while having to take a look at it not just on your own terms but on the terms the relationship needs.
