Couples often have a hard time knowing when it’s time to pick up the phone to make an appointment. This is understandable. None of us wants to think we need help. We think that if we just give it a little more time, the problems will go away, or we’ll figure it out on our own. Of if we can just get away for a vacation, just the two of us, things will improve. Or maybe if we can move to a larger house, this will remedy our difficulties. Sometimes these things work in the short-term, but they fail to address the core issues. I think that this Gottman therapist did a great job of addressing this issue. I will write most of the blogs for this site myself, but I can’t imagine how I could better than she did. I hope you find this article helpful.
