Think of it as laying the groundwork for deeper conversations to come.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I often find that couples feel relief after their first session, noting that the experience was more comfortable and less intimidating than they expected.
