I have had some therapy myself over the years, mainly for issues with my family of origin and it really helped me to see some harmful patterns that I inherited from my parents. I have worked on this and it has made my marriage, my parenting and my friendships so much easier and effective."
One partner believes the husband could benefit from therapy, which could make the marriage considerably happier. The partner has completed therapy over several years to address family-of-origin issues and identified harmful patterns inherited from parents. The partner worked on those patterns and experienced improved marital interactions, more effective parenting, and easier friendships. Individual therapeutic work translated into better functioning across family and social roles. Encouraging a partner to consider therapy frames therapy as a practical route to personal insight and relational improvement rather than as blame.
