This week, Emmalee and Jen talk about their bread and butter: couples therapy! As Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, couples therapy is one of their favorite topics to demystify. They start by discussing the stigma behind couples therapy and why they wholeheartedly believe in it - from both sides of the couch - because relationships are hard!! They talk about when a couple should seek out therapy, what to expect from couples therapy, the fears going into it, and why it is helpful when their couple clients argue in front of them. Emmalee and Jen answer your questions like what they wish couples would talk about in premarital therapy, how to shift your mindset from thinking that seeking couples therapy = doomed relationship, tips for effective communication and each of their favorites, important questions to ask each other before getting married, and a Dear Em & Jen about moving in with a significant other! Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
