What Unwillingness to Go to Couple Counseling Can Reveal About Your Partner

More often than not, one partner in the couples who have come to work with me would really rather not be in couples therapy. This is to be expected. Therapy is difficult.
you are asked to face feelings that you've avoided
you are asked to look at yourself, even if you KNOW that the problems in your relationship are all the other person's fault
you are asked to try to do things differently than you have done them- probably for a very, very long time
It makes sense that someone wouldn't be eager to sign up for all of that!
And, many reluctant partners do still come to therapy because they trust that it will make things better. Or, at the very least, that it will get their therapy-hungry partner off of their back.

But when your partner isn't willing to take a chance with you on therapy, there may be reasons why that are worth considering.
