When the same moments keep confusing you
Some men describe coming home from an argument still unsure what it was about. Your partner seemed hurt by something you did not intend, or a small comment turned into a large conflict. Wanting to understand that better is a strong reason to come to therapy.
Looking at both sides of the exchange
