Marley then goes on to discuss the similarities and differences between couples therapy among queer couples and cis/het couples. We dive into various reasons LGBTQ+ couples may seek therapy and how broader systems impact what LGBTQ+ couples bring to therapy and the therapeutic process. Marley shares about the importance of importance of empathy, vulnerability, and communication in LGBTQ+ relationships and key components of a healthy relationship. Further, Marley shares some techniques used in therapy with LGBTQ+ couples.
