Can Couples Therapy Make Things Worse? (Podcast)

Couples therapy is often seen as the fix for relationship problems, but what if it actually makes things worse? In this episode of Becoming Untriggered podcast, we unpack why traditional couples therapy or marriage counseling might not work unless deeper emotional wounds are addressed first.

We explore how unresolved attachment trauma, unmet childhood needs, and inner child work play a major role in how we show up in romantic relationships. You’ll hear how unconscious expectations, coping patterns, and childhood experiences silently sabotage even the most well-intentioned communication tools.

If you’re considering couples counseling, or feel like it hasn’t helped, tune in on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and you’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of why healing must start individually, and what needs to happen before therapy can actually work.
