Partners at loggerheads with each other often find it difficult to realise that professional help is needed. Anushree Kandalkar asks experts to break notions surrounding couples’ counselling
Where there is a relationship, there are bound to be problems and these can arise at any stage of the relationship. External factors such as job pressures, financial strain, and family squabbles, among others, can cause tremendous stress that one may not be able to deal with.
Minor bumps and major obstacles come unannounced and experts believe that it’s the way you deal with them that makes a difference. “Things can go wrong even in a healthy relationship, it’s completely natural. The important aspect is to accept, and to look for a solution together,” informs Mumbai-based counsellor and psychologist Nandita Sarma.
In India, counselling is often considered the last resort. The truth is that it can help bring about a positive difference regardless of the severity or nature of the problem.
