Chronic Pain or Illness
Kathy Anderson
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LAMFT
Medical issues, procedures, and diagnoses can really throw a wrench in a couple's relationship. Medical issues often negatively impact intimacy due to pain, fatigue, overstimulation, or anxiety. While this is very normal, especially with surgeries or other invasive treatments or procedures, it can still be very distressing for both partners in their relationship. In couple therapy, partners learn how to appreciate and be sensitive towards each other regarding medical needs, limitations, processes, and struggles. Couple therapy often functions to coach couples in developing strategies to manage illness while also grieving the impact that illness has had on their relationship.
