Including how to bring it up
Today, I thought we’d do a deep dive on couples therapy — how it’s benefited people and how to bring up to your partner that you’d like to go. First up: Senior reporter Brittany Wong asked people to reveal their “aha” moments in couples counseling. The realizations — and lessons — that really changed their relationships for the better. It includes gems like this: “Therapy helped us understand that no matter how much we think we know about one another, there is always more to discover. Always. We’re comrades, but we’re also beautiful strangers. At any given moment, there are things going on in my husband’s head that I can’t see, which I find endlessly thrilling. And whenever I try to mine those things, I discover things about myself I haven’t conceptualized before.” Go here for the rest. Xo, Ashley Rockman |
