This is one of the scariest episodes I have put live to date! But, it feels like a really important one, too.
Throughout this period, a lot of people have asked us how we are doing, and if all of this has had an impact on our relationship. We thought it was a fair question, and we decided to not try and explain the answer ourselves, but instead to seek out the help of a couple's therapist!
Together with Angelica Magana, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, we discuss:
Why couple's therapy isn't only for relationships that have broken down
The importance of getting third party support during infertility or trying to conceive
Understanding that we often have different coping mechanisms to handle situations like this
Why the women don't always need the guys to "fix it" ;)
How to identify each other's triggers
Knowing how to communicate when things get heated,
When it's appropriate to take a time out
How to deal with feelings of guilt and self blame
And how to keep the fun and spark in your relationship!
As always, I walked away from this conversation with a tonne of insight. I only hope it serves as a reminder to any couples who may be struggling that whatever you're going through is normal, and it's okay. It's part of a challenging road that we all need to learn to navigate, often on our own.
