Video Transcription

I think coming into therapy early enough before the relationship has got to breaking point so we see a lot of stages in couples’ relationships when things are getting difficult and you know it can start with conflict and trying to resolve things and when it progresses to the point where there’s real kind of contempt in the relationship and it can be really difficult to start having a conversation and reconnecting with each other’s needs and wishes for the relationship. Coming in early enough I think is a really, really important indicator for how effective the therapy would be.
