Many people assume that couples therapy is only for those facing severe relationship issues or who are on the brink of separation.

With Halloween right around the corner, it is the perfect season to take a closer look at a lesser-known form of ghosting.  While mostly associated with dating—-when one person suddenly stops contacting another, or blocks another without explanation—ghosting can also rise from the shadows in marriages, often in the form of emotional ghosting.

Love, commitment, and the promise of forever. These are the sentiments that often surround couples as they prepare for their journey into marriage.

They can sometimes bring about a range of emotions and conflicts that can benefit from professional guidance.

Seeking out a licensed couples therapist in Los Angeles is a way to provide professional guidance and support to address the underlying issues and challenges in your relationship. Here are some questions that often arise when couples seek out couples therapy and marriage counseling, particularly if they have not been in counseling before.

For most partnerships, diffusing tension in a heated discussion is an area that involves a great deal of attentiveness. While there are tips and techniques for co-creating better communication practices, seeking out couples therapy is especially helpful in learning to better attune to one another’s needs.

Setting boundaries is one way a highly sensitive person can ensure that they are protecting their energy.  However, knowing how to set boundaries—both with oneself and with others—takes practice and patience.  Often, honing the skill can also be triggering at first, but the results, peace of mind, and progress are worth the continued focus and effort.  

Because a highly sensitive person (or HSP) is usually very attuned and aware of nuance—and even slight changes in behavior patterns—supporting an HSP over text can take practice. For those partnered with a highly sensitive person, knowing how to best support them through texting can lead to deeper understanding, intimacy, and trust within your relationship. 

Holding space is one of the most powerful and compassionate ways to increase intimacy, trust, safety, and a sense of connection in partnership. If you are dating a highly sensitive person, partnered with someone who navigates anxiety, and has been working on trauma healing or ending generational patterns of trauma, holding space is one of the most loving, affirming, and bonding experiences you can share together.
