53 - How I Knew it was Time for Marriage Therapy

In this episode, I share my personal story about the difficulties and disconnect I faced in my marriage. The struggles we face in our marriage are not an overnight issue, they're a compound of multiple little things overtime. Making a decision to engage outside help of some capacity can be hard - it can feel like we're admitting that our marriage feels a bit like it's failing or that we're finally saying it out loud that we aren't sure if we want to stay in it for the long haul. It's no wonder so many of us avoid it for as long as possible.

 

You're not alone when it comes to feeling like something has to change in your marriage in order for you to find happiness again. The most torturous place for us can be that space of uncertainty. But making the decision to engage some therapeutic guidance, you'll find peace in knowing you are working on finding the right decision for you in what direction to take your relationship.

 

In this episode I'll share with you how that realization came to be for me, what the signs were and what you'll get out of it for yourself regardless the outcome of your marriage. This episode emphasizes the power of listening to one's inner voice and seeking help when needed in hopes of encouraging others facing the same struggles in their relationships.
