Why Couples Therapy Fails (Unless You Do This First)

Why doesn’t couples therapy work for so many people? In this episode, we break down the deeper reasons why traditional couples counseling or marriage therapy often fails, and what needs to happen before it can actually help. It’s not just about communication or compromise. It’s about unlearning the patterns that kept you safe as a child but sabotage your connection as an adult.

With a trauma-informed approach, you’ll learn how childhood trauma, attachment wounds, and the unmet needs of your inner child impact how you relate to your partner. We talk about why many couples feel stuck or disconnected in therapy, and how challenges in your relationship are often a sign of growth (and why that’s not a bad thing).

Whether you’re in therapy now or considering it, this conversation will help you see your relationship through a new lens, with practical insight into how to finally break toxic patterns and create deeper connection in your relationship.
