Not all couples come to therapy in crisis. Many have just simply gotten snagged on a pain point or fighting pattern that they’ve been unable to move past together. Sometimes I am just there as an overseer to make sure things don’t get out of control and to add my two cents here and there as they’re going. The experience of being able to talk things out can be healing. Today I sat in awe of these four sets of human lovers who truly have so much love, desire, and ability to work things out.

And boy did it stir things up in me. I came home and wanted again to put all of my clouded thoughts behind me. To connect as we are meant to because despite the suffering and difficulties, like so many others, we can’t not be together.
