WHAT IS COUPLES COUNSELING?
Communication is key, but learning how to do it effectively can build a healthier relationship.
Couples therapy is designed to resolve conflicts and build better foundations for relationships. Working with a trained counselor, this process addresses the challenges partners face. It works to build better lines of communication to help with everything from conflict management to boosting intimacy.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Arguments happen in every relationship. Let’s get down to what’s causing them.
There are going to be disagreements between couples. A major building block to getting past these issues is doing it in a healthy manner. Couples therapy can teach people how to manage those disagreements without resorting to unproductive behaviors like blaming, withdrawing, and raising their voices. Learn how to communicate more openly and without getting defensive; it will get you to a much better resolution.
ENHANCE INTIMACY
Learn how to make both partners feel fulfilled.
Sometimes, partners get out of sync when it comes to intimacy – and that can be emotional and physical. Couples therapy allows couples to explore and talk about their needs. Relationship dynamics
might change over time, but both partners must meet those needs. Understand where each of you is coming from to ensure you are both content inside the relationship.
BOOST YOUR COMMUNICATION
Effective and open communication is a big part of maintaining a healthy relationship.
Learning how to communicate within a relationship is a major focus of couples therapy. Your therapist can give you tools and methods to communicate more openly, with more honesty, and more empathy. Understand your partner better by looking through their perspective and understanding their needs.
Your partner wants to be heard just as much as you do. Let’s learn how to help both of you.
REBUILDING TRUST
Things happen in relationships. Couples therapy gives you the environment to build trust back up.
Breaches of trust can be some of the most damaging things we face in our relationships. These can be difficult things to recover from, but your therapist can offer a structured environment to rebuild trust in a relationship. Offering that much-needed support in a safe space for both individuals is an important
part in rebuilding that trust – and repairing your damaged relationship.
PLANNING AHEAD
Learn to recognize potential trouble spots before wandering into them.
Couples therapy isn’t just for people facing troubles in their relationships. It’s also a very useful tool for giving a couple strategies for preventing future conflicts before they become damaging. Keep your relationship healthy and satisfying by learning methods to identify potential disagreements and how to resolve them before they become something bigger.
WHY DO PEOPLE NEED COUPLES THERAPY?
People evolve and change over time. Their relationships are no different.
Couples therapy can help you strengthen your relationship and open up lines of communication. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been in a long-term relationship, are considering getting engaged, or are facing divorce – couples therapy is designed to address the unique challenges of every relationship.
Build a healthier relationship. Together.
