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

By Donna Beley


If one partner in a marriage is not happy, she may want to discuss it. Her spouse may disagree. By speaking with a Naples psychologist, they can begin to improve the relationship by recognizing the existing problem.

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.

The psychologist may begin by asking questions to help determine the main point of contention between husband and wife. Body language as well as words will divulge the extent of the problem. The psychologist will have an idea of how long counseling may take after one or two introductory sessions.

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.

Lack of sexual contact can often be attributed to an underlying cause. Counseling can help bring awareness of that cause. If it can be understood, it may lead to a resolution of the sexual coldness.

A childhood incident of sexual molestation can result in the inability to enjoy sex. The spouse may not know about the abuse. When it is revealed, the other partner may be more tolerant.

Another possible reason is an injury that resulted in permanent disability. Taking some prescription medications can suppress libido. However, the most likely barrier to healthy sexual intimacy is lack of communication.
