If you and your spouse are expecting your first child, you may face many emotional battles you have not faced before; after all, bringing another life into the world is not something to be taken lightly. You can expect your family dynamics to change as you embrace the new roles as parent. As you transition across the different experiences from pregnancy to birth to parenting, you may experience a rollercoaster of emotions such as fear, anxiety, unmet expectations, and more.
Many marriages are shaken when couples are unable to deal with these transitions successfully. Friends and family help as best they can, but sometimes professional emotionally focused therapy is the best option.
When a marriage faces emotional challenges that are not easily resolved, it is common for the couple to hesitate in seeking outside intervention. It is a brave and promising move when the couple is able to admit they need professional help to deal with their challenges. When you pursue emotionally focused therapy (EFT) as a couple, you deal with deep emotions that are part of each person’s identity and that affects how they communicate and deal with life challenges. An EFT counsellor receives special training in this field and can apply a deeper understanding of human psychology to help you work through growing your family.
