Couples with partners who are neurodivergent need neuroaffiriming couple therapy. ADHD/AuDHD/Autistic brains function differently than neurotypical ones. So do the reasons behind their communication patterns.

Sometimes it's not a communication problem. Communication training alone won't work in these situations. Neurodivergent couple therapy needs to be tailored for the people in the room.

Discover how Neuroaffirming couple therapy can enhance relationships, even when partners have different neurodivergent traits.

The term EFT can be confusing because there are two different methods that use those initials. People will sometimes get told by a therapist or a friend to get EFT and pull up different information. The article here helps you know which you need.

**Premarital counseling isn't just for couples having problems.**

You're in love. You're getting married. But have you talked about the stuff that can get complicated *after* "I do"?

💰 How will you handle money?
👶 Do you both want kids, and when?
💼 What happens if a career opportunity means moving?
❤️ How do you handle conflict and reconnect afterward?

These are the conversations that can determine whether marriage feels like a partnership or a series of surprises.

I use **PREPARE/ENRICH and SYMBIS** to help couples explore these questions before the wedding, when there's time to listen, understand each other, and plan together.

**What's one conversation you think every couple should have before getting married?**

EMDR gets talked about like it's the one ring. Like it fixes everything. But how effective is it, really?

The research is strongest for PTSD, with growing evidence for other concerns. But some of the claims you’ll see online go further than the science does.

We broke down what the research actually shows, where EMDR looks promising, and where the evidence still has limits.

Read the research:

Not sure if you need couples counseling or couples coaching?

I get that. The terms can be confusing.

Counseling and coaching are different kinds of help. One is self-improvement. The other heals what is underneath the issues. Knowing which one you need makes all the difference.

I put together a simple guide to help you sort it out. https://columbustherapyandhypnosis.com/couples-counseling-vs-coaching-which-one-do-you-need/

Have you ever noticed that you and your partner seem to have the same fight over and over, even when the topic changes?

One person may push for answers. The other may shut down. One partner may sound angry. The other may look distant or uncaring.

But underneath those reactions, both people may actually be hurting, scared, overwhelmed, or trying not to make things worse.

In EFT couples therapy, body language can offer important clues about what is happening beneath the argument. A tightened chest, a quieter voice, looking away, freezing, or pulling back may all be signs that something deeper is being touched.

The goal is not to “read” your partner like a code.

The goal is to slow the moment down, become curious, and ask, “What is happening inside right now?”

When couples can begin to understand the emotion underneath the reaction, the whole conversation can start to change.

I wrote more about how EFT couples therapy uses body language and emotional cues to help couples understand the pattern beneath repeated conflict.

Anyone can call themselves a hypnotist.

That does not mean they are qualified to treat anxiety, trauma, PTSD, chronic pain, or other psychological concerns.

A licensed mental-health professional trained in clinical hypnosis has clinical education, supervised experience, ethical obligations, and accountability to a licensing board.

They know how to respond if difficult memories, emotions, or reactions surface during treatment.

Before choosing a hypnosis provider, ask:

Are they a licensed mental-health professional?

What formal training do they have in clinical hypnosis? (diploma, short course, 2 hour training)

Your care deserves both.

Curious whether clinical hypnosis may be a fit for you? I offer consultations at Revitalize You in Columbus, Ohio. Link in bio.
