A Series Of Appointments With A Naples Psychologist Helps Couples With Marriage Counseling Solutions

By Donna Beley


In a troubled marriage, one partner may want to talk about what is wrong. The other partner may not want to admit anything is wrong. When both are willing to work with a Naples psychologist, there is a possibility of finding a solution to their problems.

Unless it is confronted, one of two things will happen. It will either remain unresolved or get worse. Usually it is beneficial for both partners to attend the sessions for counseling.

If one is unwilling to attend counseling sessions, the other can still benefit from counseling. A psychologist usually prefers to see both spouses. At some point each one may have a session alone.

Before any issue can be addressed, the marriage counselor works to help them admit their part in creating the problem. He will understand them through questioning and body language. A psychologist can gauge how long it may take to resolve their issues.

Sensitive topics are always difficult to approach at first. One partner may want to be intimate more frequently than the other. Sex is important to the marital relationship as it is an expression of love.

Some factors lead to, instigate and maintain a sexless marriage. A lack of emotional intimacy is definitely not conducive to a healthy physical intimacy. Often a health problem can be part of the problem.

A counselor can make it easier to uncover a hidden reason for lack of sexual contact. Through counseling, that reason can be confronted. The sexual incapacity can be resolved when it is understood.

Another possibility is one spouse having a history of childhood sexual abuse. This can result in a dislike of sexual contact in adulthood. The other spouse may not be aware that such trauma occurred.

One spouse may be injured or ill. If prescription medication is needed, it can lead to a decreased libido. However, the major reason for intimacy issues is the inability to communicate.
