What If My Partner Is Reluctant to Attend Sessions?

         Often one partner is more motivated to attend sessions than the other, 

and then there are times when one partner flat out refuses. 


Resistance to therapy can be common due to a number of reasons:
 

The stigma associated with therapy 

Concern about what may be addressed within sessions 

Worry we will move toward separation or divorce 

Deep feelings of embarrassment 

Feeling ‘forced’ to attend sessions 

Discussing your problems with someone outside of the relationship

Relationship and Marriage Counseling can be more effective when both parties are present, however, our therapists can be of support to help you work through the relationship distress.  


 Sessions will focus on improving your communication 

and conflict resolution skills, learning about your 

negative patterns impacting the relationship, 

and discovering and expressing your needs in a healthier way.

 Perhaps as begin to create positive changes within your relationship your partner might be motivated to join you for a family session in the future.  


If this does not happen, we are hopeful the personal growth within sessions will improve the quality of your experience within your relationship.  

What if things don't improve?

the quality of the relationship and address the above issues
