When Your Relationship Feels Stuck
You used to be best friends. Now you're more like roommates—or worse, opponents. The same arguments replay on loop. Small disagreements escalate into big fights. One of you pursues while the other withdraws. You're not sure how you got here.
Burlington couples often face unique pressures: demanding careers, long commutes, the weight of raising children in a high-expectation community. These pressures strain even strong relationships, and over time, small disconnections can grow into chasms.
Here's what we want you to know: the patterns you're stuck in make sense. They're usually protection mechanisms that were never meant to hurt—but now they're getting in the way. Understanding these patterns is the first step toward changing them.
What Couples Therapy Helps With
Communication Breakdown
When conversations turn into arguments, or you've stopped talking about what matters.
Feeling Disconnected
When you're living parallel lives, missing the intimacy and closeness you once had.
Trust & Betrayal
Rebuilding trust after infidelity, lies, or other breaches that have damaged your foundation.
Recurring Conflicts
The same fights happening over and over, with no resolution in sight.
Major Transitions
Navigating parenthood, career changes, health challenges, or other life shifts together.
Intimacy Issues
Reconnecting emotionally and physically when distance has grown between you.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
We use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)—one of the most researched and effective approaches for couples. Developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, EFT has over 30 years of research showing 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery.
EFT works by helping you understand the negative cycles you're caught in. Most couples get stuck in patterns like "pursue-withdraw" or "attack-attack." These patterns make sense—they're protection mechanisms—but they keep you disconnected.
Through EFT, you'll learn to:
Break Negative Cycles
- See the patterns keeping you stuck
- Understand what's underneath the conflict
- Interrupt fights before they escalate
Rebuild Connection
- Express vulnerable feelings safely
- Respond to each other's needs
- Create new patterns of closeness
