What is Marriage, Couples & Relationship Counseling & Therapy?
Marriage & Couples Counseling uses psychotherapy (talk therapy) techniques to help partners understand their relationships, navigate through obstacles, build trust, and create a stronger family unit. Marriage & Couples Counseling almost always includes both partners. Both partners must work together and want to improve the relationship in order for counseling to be effective. While a family therapist will give partners tools to relate and communicate more effectively, each partner must actively participate.
Depending on your situation, Marriage & Couples Counseling may include any of the following techniques:
- Positive reframing
- Family therapy with other members of the house
- Group therapy with other couples
- Individual therapy to address specific personal obstacles
- Role-playing
- Narrative therapy
- Emotional therapy
Relationships in general, are a partnership. This means that the bond between partners depends not only on your teamwork, but your individual efforts. Counseling addresses your communication and interactions, as well as individual needs.
When Should We Seek Marriage & Couples Counseling?
Partners commonly wait too long before seeking counseling. They often endure the same problems, arguments, or emotional distance for years. This does not have to be the case. By seeking counseling sooner rather than later, you can improve your relationship dynamic and build a stronger, healthier, and happier life together.
Marriage & Couples Counseling is beneficial for partners at any point in their relationship. If there is discord, or one or both partners is/are dissatisfied, counseling can help. An experienced counselor acts as a mediator, and provides you with tools, knowledge and objectivity needed to reverse destructive patterns.
Marriage & Couples Counseling is a normal response to any of the following:
- Negative communication
- Repeated arguing
- Lying or distrust
- Infidelity
- Disagreements in child rearing
- Emotional distance
- Lack of intimacy
- Major life changes or loss
- Power struggles
- Substance abuse
- Unusual anger
- Newly blended families
