How CBT Can Help Overcome Relationship Problems

The most common problems couples face include:

-    Communication problems

-    Feeling or being controlled

-    Inability to solve problems together –often money, sex or family issues

-    One or both partners suffer from anxiety or depression

-    Growing apart over time

CBT can help resolve these issues as it allows couples to understand and identify how their thoughts or behaviours are impacting their relationship, and also evaluate the sometimes unachievable standards that people judge their relationships by.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Jamyson Haug
