Scenario

When couples have different styles of emotional work in therapy

My partner and I started therapy together but we're discovering we have completely different ideas about what 'being vulnerable' means and what 'progress' looks like. I want to dive deep into everything and they want to focus on specific behaviors, and our therapist keeps trying to bridge this gap but we're both getting frustrated with each other's approach.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people committed to growth are discovering their paths diverge in ways that threaten their ability to walk together.
