6. Why Couples Counseling Isn’t Just for “Broken” Relationships with Rachel Elder

So many of us were taught to be strong, independent, and figure things out alone, but what happens when that mindset sabotages our relationships?

I’m joined by Rachel Elder, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and owner of Connected Couples Counseling, to talk about how therapy can benefit couples at any stage, not just when things are falling apart. We chat about communication, conflict, connection (Rachel’s “3 Cs”), and how being open to being wrong can totally transform your relationship.

Rachel also shares what actually happens in couples counseling, how our past shapes how we show up with our partners, and what to do if only one person wants therapy. If you’re curious about deepening your connection or learning healthier patterns together, this one’s for you.

About Rachel:
