Research now shows two important things:
1. That whether you know it or not, you are feeling an incredible amount of stress because of the global nature of this situation and the uncertainty it brings. This pandemic means we are all in a state of inescapable threat.
Example: After 9/11, the research showing that the rates of PTSD increased dramatically.
2. Also, some indicators are that being in close proximity with your spouse/partner over long periods of time, can wear some couples down to the point of no return.
Example: In China, after months of lock down, the divorce rates were off the charts.
I don’t want either of those realities to become your truth now. Rather than “wear you down, it can polish you up” (Peter Pearson).
Understanding that online therapy has tremendous benefits and that it is as effective as in person therapy, can ensure you come out of this on top.

- You and your partner/spouse do not need to be in the same location
- It’s anonymous and private
- It’s secure and confidential
