Relationship Problems

Relationships can be tricky at the best of times. Add to that all the stressors of modern-day life, and relationships can sometimes feel like an exam nobody told you you needed to study for. Luckily, support and guidance are just a click away here at Global Online Therapy.

Therapy can help couples prepare for their future together, navigate challenging times, talk about relationship problems, repair what has been broken, enhance intimacy, and strengthen their bonds.

Is It Time to Talk About Your Relationship Problems?

There are a few red flags that could suggest your relationship problems have escalated beyond the realm of ordinary couple disagreements. A seemingly complete lack of trust between partners is one of these red flags. Also, when misunderstandings or arguments become more the rule than the exception, it’s clear that communication has broken down.

Other concerns include constant feelings of irritation or annoyance toward your partner, as well as a noticeable lack of emotional or physical intimacy. Disagreements may also begin to take on a harsher tone, which can include name-calling, eye-rolling, or smirking. This further erodes respect between you and your partner.

Signs That Your Relationship Could Use Some Guidance

If you feel like the spark has faded and your relationship resembles more of a roommate situation, you’ll need to address the situation with the help of a pro. Uncertainty about whether you and your partner share the same future plans or goals can create emotional distance and a sense of steadily drifting apart. And when it comes to unresolved issues that linger over time, resentment can grow.

Difficulty understanding or relating to one another signals a deeper disconnect that requires your urgent attention. And struggling to support your partner through physical or mental illness can add further strain to the relationship. Recognizing these signs is crucial if you want to repair and strengthen your relationship.

Where Do Relationship Problems Stem From?

Many things can cause relationship problems. This can include betrayals such as infidelity, everyday life putting strain on the relationship, the regular passing of time that sees people growing apart, undiagnosed or diagnosed health issues, and so forth.

Many things can cause relationship problems, including:

  • Infidelity or betrayal
  • Stress from everyday life, such as work pressure, financial strain, or parenting challenges.
  • Growing apart over time, as life circumstances and personal priorities change.
  • Undiagnosed or diagnosed health issues, mental or physical.
  • The strain of major life events, such as relocation, loss, or career changes.
  • Unresolved conflicts that build resentment over time.
  • Differences in values, goals, or expectations for the future.

Your therapist can not only help you address your relationship problems but also help you discover their root causes and teach you the skills and tools to maintain a healthy relationship in the future.

How Our Professionals Deal With Relationship Problems

Therapists can employ several therapies to address relationship problems. This can include talk therapy (for individuals as well as couples), EFT, CBT, and many more.

Most of these treatment methods focus on understanding each other better, addressing individual issues that may cause relationship problems, complex dynamics, the fallout of events or circumstances, and equipping you to handle relationships (and any difficulties) more effectively in the future.

Communication Is Key

Therapy helps couples develop valuable life skills such as effective communication and conflict resolution, which can be far-reaching and incredibly helpful in many areas of life that extend past the borders of their relationship. It can also reignite the spark in your relationship and foster a deeper emotional and physical connection. Therapy also helps restore and build up lost trust between partners.

Mediate Between Partners

A therapist can also serve as a sort of mediator or “translator,” helping articulate feelings and thoughts that you’re struggling to express directly with your partner. Couples therapy is also a safe space where you and your partner can address, process, and heal shared traumas together.

    FAQ About Relationship Problems:

    Therapy can help you become less reactive and a more active listener. It can also teach you how to express yourself more effectively and in a healthy manner, thereby fostering greater understanding and empathy within the relationship, leading to fewer misunderstandings and arguments.

    This is entirely dependent on you and your partner, as well as your specific situation and circumstances. Therapy can continue until there’s a resolution to your relationship problems or until you’ve decided to stop attending sessions.

    There are no guarantees that therapy will keep you together. However, it will also teach you more about yourself, your partner, and what a healthy relationship should look like. Sometimes, a breakup is the best thing to do.

    In those instances, your therapist will help you do so amicably, provide the closure you need, and assist in transitioning to your new life as a single individual (even if you still share responsibilities, such as with children).
