Couples Counseling Modesto
It has been a struggle for what feels like forever. You don’t know what to try anymore.
You’re drifting apart. At this point, you avoid talking to each other because you’ll end up having the same talk that will turn into an argument, which then will turn into a silent treatment.
You both secretly worry it will get worse. You wonder, “How did it get this way? How did we end up here?
Connecting Couples through Therapy in Modesto CA
It’s been so long since you’ve really talked.
You’re frustrated, angry, lonely, and scared it’s all going to shit.
You feel like there is no support or understanding.
In everyday life, things have gotten in the way, and things have become routine.
It’s all about work, family, other people, other things, everything but the two of you.
On the rare occasions when you manage to go out, it’s silent, and you think, “Well, this is awkward. Do we even know each other anymore? It’s like we’re roommates.”
You think back to when you felt close and connected and when you talked about your hopes and dreams.
Who can you trust to do Couples Counseling in Modesto?
You don’t want to talk about it with family or friends, or you may have already talked to all of them. You don’t want to keep doing the same thing repeatedly. You have read books and blogs, followed tips from social accounts, and tried to discuss it, but it’s not working. Something is missing.
