You might not realize it, but chances are you communicate with your family in a very specific way. Spend time around a friend’s family, or even your partner’s family, and you might see that they do things differently.
Grief can impact people in many different ways. While we often associate it with extreme sadness and emotions like denial and anger, the lingering effects of grief can do so much more.

There are many factors that contribute to a healthy relationship, and all of them are important. But, at the very core of any strong partnership is an understanding of your own wants and needs.
Couples therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. In fact, some couples are hesitant to try it for a variety of reasons. They might worry about bias with the therapist. They might fear the therapist only hearing or understanding one side of the conversation.
