Couples who begin therapy typically do so in an attempt to make progress on an existing issue within their relationship, oftentimes something related to communication (or lack thereof!), or arguing (or doing it too frequently!).  They come into therapy asking questions like “Do we fight more than we should?”.....”What’s normal?”....”How often do other couples fight?”

Have you ever gotten into an argument with your partner that you later looked back on and felt shame or embarrassment over? You know, the ones we regret because they are over something so petty or small? From raised tension and stress within your relationship, to even questioning the reality of the relationship (and your sanity!), seemingly small yet frequent arguments can have a rather large impact on an otherwise healthy relationship.
