How do we know if we would be able to benefit from couple therapy?
How can we know if it is possible for us to benefit from couple therapy?
Ask yourself:
Do you experience difficulties in communication – do you quarrel frequently? have thundering silences? or endless discussions that you revert to over and over again?
Do you experience conflict over specific matters – for example, the children’s education; relationships with the extended family; money or sexuality?
Do you feel distant from each other?
Do you find it difficult to create intimacy?
Are you dealing with a crisis? – for example, infidelity, a threat of divorce, or a personal crisis which one of the partners is having?
Above all – do you get the sense that you are lacking an external, objective point of view – which would be beneficial to you?
If you identify with one or more of the symptoms that are indicated above, we recommend that you consider getting therapy.
The treatment process
When therapy begins, the therapist will make sure to create a safe space in which the couple can present themselves, their strengths and their difficulties as individuals and together, and their desires for their married life. Together with the couple, the therapist will learn about the patterns of communication between them; learn about the start of the relationship and clarify with each of them the emotional ‘baggage’ they are bringing to the marriage, and the implications that these might have on the marital relationship. All of this serves to create a foundation for better coping with the difficulties, for healing and renewal in the couple’s relationship.
