When Couples Get Stuck in Repeated Conflict
Couples therapy can help partners slow down conflict cycles and understand the needs underneath repeated arguments.
The cycle matters
Many couples are not only arguing about the topic in front of them. They are often caught in a repeated pattern of feeling unheard, defended, rejected, or alone.
Finding another response
Therapy creates space to notice the cycle, understand each partner’s needs, and practise different ways of responding that support connection and repair.
