Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
— Leo Tolstoy
My favourite therapist says working on ourselves (emotional/relationship/communication skills) is the road less travelled. People tend to seek professional assistance in this area only when absolutely necessary. I was one of those people way back. I wanted my relationship to work and was willing to do anything to save it. Interestingly, couples counselling did not save the relationship, but it certainly saved me. Our therapist offered a disclaimer right off the top. He said that couples therapy allows each individual to be more true to themselves, which will either strengthen the relationship, or highlight the problematic differences. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
