Chronic Pain or Illness
Kathy Gusenkov
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
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.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Telespera Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor
Living with conditions like migraines, fibromyalgia, or other chronic pain can feel like a constant battle. You never know when the pain will strike, derailing your plans and sidelining you from the life you’ve worked so hard to build. Worse, others may question your work ethic or even your sanity, leaving you feeling misunderstood and unsupported.
You’ve spent countless hours in pain, isolated in the dark, wondering if anyone truly cares or understands. And when you reach out for help, you’re often met with blank stares, half-hearted solutions, or advice that completely misses the point. Communicating your needs to doctors, employers, or even friends and loved ones feels like an uphill climb, leaving you longing for someone who really gets it.
But here’s the truth: you don’t have to accept a life of suffering and isolation. Relief is possible, and support is within reach. You deserve to be heard, understood, and helped.
