When should you consult a couples therapist?

Many couples wait until they're on the verge of breaking up before seeking help. Yet, it's often when it's already too late that they decide to seek help.

One of the major factors that triggers a crisis in a relationship is the lack of listening, both to oneself and to the other .

This phenomenon of withdrawal makes it difficult to access one's own emotions and prevents one from understanding those of one's partner. When this breakdown in communication sets in, conflict management becomes increasingly complex, with each person seeking to be right (the "I" of power), leading to a climate of tension and unease within the couple.
