When is it time to do couples therapy? - with couple’s therapist Megan Kozak

In our 153rd episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Megan Kozak. Megan is a couple’s therapist and she answers all your relationship questions. You guys have been asking for this for a while and we totally get it – relationships are f*%@ing hard. So, we hope you find as much value in this chat as we did!

• How does a couple find a good couple’s therapist?
• What are some signs that may indicate that therapy may be beneficial to your relationship?
• How do you know the difference between ‘I am not in love with my partner anymore’ versus ‘I am just in burnout’? Especially postpartum!
• A lot of people say that the first year of marriage is really hard. Is this true and why does this happen?
• How do you approach your partner if you think the relationship would benefit from therapy without them taking offence to it?
• Do you think it’s possible for couples to get over infidelity?
• If a partnership is planning on having a baby or are already pregnant, what are some important things to discuss?
• Can you get a feel for what kind of parenting style your partner will have before becoming a parent? Or is this hard to predict?
• Is it true that you will parent as your parents did or do the polar opposite?
• Is both partners really wanting the partnership to work all it takes? Or sometimes does the partnership just have to come to an end?
• If one partner feels that something is wrong and therapy is needed and the other partner doesn’t, where do you go from there?
• If one partner is taking on more of the ‘stay at home’ role and the other partner is taking on more of the ‘working role’, how can we better explain to our partners that feelings of resentment are creeping in?
• What to do if sex drives don’t match up?
• And SO MUCH MORE!!!
