Whether you’re in the exciting phase of your relationship or you are going through a dark season of your relationship, you are not alone.

Olivia Pelts, owner of Sunshine City Counseling in St. Petersburg, FL, is addressing this question:

"I am starting to take a break from therapy because I’m frustrated with my therapist. I feel so much better not going to therapy. Does this mean I am done with therapy or that I had a bad therapist?"

This is a question we often hear at SCC. Check this quick episode for Olivia's thoughts...

Today, Zac and Olivia sit down to talk all about relationships and communication. What are reasons that couples seek out therapy in the first place? Do you have to be "really bad" in order to go to couples counseling? What tends to get in the way of you communicating effectively to your partner?!
