Rough Patch or Red Flag? Dr. Viviana Coles Shares the Signs on Good Day LA
On July 8, 2025, Dr. Viviana Coles, nationally recognized relationship and sex therapist, joined FOX 11’s Good Day LA to help couples answer one of the most pressing questions in love: “Is this just a rough patch—or is it a red flag?”
Dr. Coles explained that while every relationship hits challenging seasons, some patterns point to deeper issues that shouldn’t be ignored. She shared that emotional safety, mutual effort, and the ability to resolve recurring issues are key indicators of a healthy relationship. In contrast, ongoing neglect, lack of accountability, and repeated conflict without progress may signal that the relationship is no longer serving both partners.
Encouraging viewers to tune into their instincts and evaluate their relationship patterns honestly, Dr. Coles reminded couples that growth comes from reflection, not denial. Her insights empower individuals to take proactive steps toward healing, whether that means reconnecting with their partner—or recognizing it’s time to let go.
