How Three Couples Turned Challenges into Strengths with the Help of Their Couples Therapist
Mark & Lori
After the birth of their son, Mark and Lori found themselves drifting apart. Lori felt overwhelmed and unsupported, while Mark felt ignored and disconnected. Their therapist used Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help them rebuild. Through guided exercises, they explored their deep fears. Then, they learned to express their needs with vulnerability, leading to mutual understanding.
Alex & Charlie
Alex and Charlie struggled to move forward after infidelity. In therapy, they revisited the incident in a structured way to address both their hurts and unmet needs. Trust-building exercises and weekly check-ins created a new foundation rooted in honesty and accountability. Alex and Charlie repaired their relationship one day at a time by learning to validate each other's emotions without defensiveness.
Jeremiah and Kiara
Jeremiah and Kiara found themselves stuck in an anxious-avoidant loop—Jeremiah sought constant reassurance, and Kiara retreated in response. Their therapist used attachment-based therapy to break the cycle. They gained insight into their triggers and reactions by identifying their attachment styles. Their therapist guided them through exercises to practice co-regulation, and, over time, they replaced their blowout fights with calm, productive discussions. Both felt much more secure in the relationship.
