Hey, I've only been to couples therapy once. I wish we could have gone more but it's so out of our budget right now. I think it can be a great resource. I know some couples that have done it and sometimes they would leave feeling worse off because they're talking about things that are upsetting them but in the end you have the skills to fix it. From what I've heard a lot of it is learning to communicate. During our one session we learned "when you ___, I feel ___, I need ___". This has really helped us communicate better in a way that doesn't criticise or blame/create as much defensiveness. When we have the money we would both like to go a few more times.

I think the more you put into it the more you'll get out of it. And it's important to find a counsellor that clicks with you and can work to whatever your goals are
