Benefits of Counseling for Couples
Counseling should be considered an investment in the future of your partnership. Choosing to undergo counseling is the first step toward improvement. Counseling for couples is a lot of work and it takes time to become better, however, we are here to make the process easier and healthier. The goal of the skills taught in each session is to help couples work through issues, create a better bond, and create a healthier relationship through mutual respect and understanding.
The Counseling Process
The initial therapeutic objective is to rebuild the marital or couple friendship in order to lessen the loneliness each partner might be experiencing in the relationship. The early sessions are commonly focused on opening up about each partner’s feelings and bringing to light underlying issues that are causing conflicts. We assist partners with coping with the conflicted and constantly-shifting emotions they feel about themselves and their spouse or partner, including feelings of betrayal, ambivalence, curiosity, and hurt toward the other person. Sometimes, arranging more than one session a week for a while is necessary depending on the specific topics in the relationship and the couple’s preference.
Learning to detect, control, and properly work through intense emotions is a primary therapy goal, especially in cases where open hostility and rage are significant concerns. We strive to provide our clients with effective communication tools that can be used before emotions take control of a person and sabotage their chances of having a constructive conversation with their spouse.
