In today's episode, we step into a world that's often left behind closed doors: the world of couples therapy. Vanessa Morgan, a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, joins me to unravel the mysteries and stigmas surrounding this form of therapy that's not just for rocky relationships, but also for those seeking to prevent issues in the first place.
Vanessa's approach is both eye-opening and comforting. She likens couples therapy to preventative medicine – something that equips you with tools for when times get tough. It's so much more than a business transaction, too; rather it is often a deeply intimate process in which a therapist has the privilege of helping people uncover the most delicate and valuable parts of themselves.
Throughout our conversation, we tackle the hard-hitting topics: the stigma around therapy, the importance of understanding attachment styles, and the tools for long-term relationship success. We also dive into how couples therapy can be a beacon of hope for parenting struggles, chronic illness, and major life transitions.
What makes this episode stand out is Vanessa's empathy, directness and passion for her craft. She demystifies the process of therapy, sharing a gold mine of insights for anyone looking to understand the complexities of human connections.
If you've ever wondered about couples therapy or felt alone in your relationship struggles, this episode is a must-listen. It's a reminder that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness, and that investing in your relationship is one of the most loving things you can do.
Vanessa's clients have told her that her approach is empathic, straightforward and insightful. You may be a good fit for Vanessa's counseling if you are self-reflective and highly motivated to discover how you are contributing to the current dynamics in your life. To Vanessa, therapy is so much more than a business transaction; rather it is often a deeply intimate process in which a therapist has the privilege of helping people uncover the most delicate and valuable parts of themselves.
