What is Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy helps couples who are experiencing difficulties in their relationship. It's a safe and confidential space where you and your partner, guided by a qualified therapist, can examine the dynamics of your relationship.
The main thing is to detect problems in communication and help you understand better. It's worth noting that any relationship improves with pauses to reflect together.
What is couples therapy for?
It is mainly used to deal with arguments that are repeated and shake the couple's balance. Improves communication, cutting out misunderstandings and encouraging empathy.
It is also good in times of external stress, such as family or work issues, which involve closeness. The goal is to create healthy relationships, in which both people feel supported and appreciated.
If the relationship is almost over, you can avoid unnecessary separations by giving yourself tools to reconnect.
What is done in couples therapy
Sessions begin with the therapist assessing the history of the relationship. They then delve into specific topics through guided conversations.
Here's an overview of the typical process:
- Evaluation session: Open discussion about expectations and concerns.
- Exploration of patterns: Identification of repetitive behaviors that generate conflict.
- Strategy development: Practical exercises to improve daily interaction, such as active listening techniques.
Each session lasts around 50 minutes and generally takes place once a week, adjusting to the couple's rhythm. The therapist remains neutral, guiding the conversation without taking sides.
