Kristen Bell And Dax Shepard Needs Couple Therapy

“Frozen’s” Kristen Bell said she and her husband Dax Shepard benefited from couples therapy. They have been attending sessions since they met and this helped them stayed one of the strongest married couples in Hollywood even though they know that in the media, this could count as a sign that a couple is already breaking up.

In an interview with Good Housekepping, husband and wife Dax and Kristen shared that one of the secret ingredients to their strong relationship is couples therapy. According to Dax, there were times when he did not trust Kristen and there are times that Kristen feel as if she cannot trust him. In order to resolve their trust issues, they need to constantly approach their therapist, right from the beginning of their relationship. "I just kept going back to ‘This person has the thing I want and I have to figure out how we can exist peacefully,” Dax said. He added couples therapy is the way he decided on.

Kristen added that it is not something that anyone should be embarrassed of. The “Frozen” star added that like any other event or thing, one can only get better if there is help along the way. “You do better in the gym with a trainer; you don’t figure out how to cook without reading a recipe,” she said. For her, therapy is the same thing, it can strengthen a couple’s relationship.

Dax added more of views on therapy. He said it is much better to go to therapy at the start of any relationship rather than when it is too late. He said that on celebrity tabloids, going to therapy is sometimes used as a sign that a couple is already breaking up. Therapy is therefore given a negative connotation, which should not be the case. Dax added that on his previous relationship, they went to therapy but only when it was already too late to save the relationship. He said it does not make sense to go to a therapist only after nine years of relationship and try to figure out the other person and the relationship patterns.

The two have always been open in sharing about their lives as a married couple. Earlier this year, when Kristen gave birth to their second child, Delta, Dax went all out in giving the details on his wife’s C-section. He even divulged on seeing Kristen’s insides when the baby is being pulled out. He also recounted how he and Kristen came up with the baby’s name.
