Does Counseling Ever Help?

I have gone to counseling for a number of years seeking for some middle ground. For us the communication got better but not about intimacy. Now wee haven't gone for a year and things have gotten worse. Was it because we stopped going to counseling.. no, I don't so.

Professional help is different for everyone. In our case my wife knew how the technical terms and was able to spin things to mirror her views better. I always felt no one was truly listening to what I said needed.

Seeing a shrink(i dont know how to spell psychiatrist) is ok as long as you dont have to pay for it........They get money for old rope........ive seen a few of them in my time.

It didn't help with us. We have been to so many different counsellors over the years, and I was just looked at with disbelief when I said my main issue was sex, or more specifically, lack of it, and then the conversation never went back to that topic.

It depends if you are both willing participants. Counseling can help bring out the issues that are causing the lack of sex/intimacy in your relationship. One thing I have learned, no matter what each one of us plays a role in the break down of a relationship. Once identified, both parties have to work on their part for the success to happen. So YES it can help....but you both have to do your HW. Good luck :)
