What to Expect From Couples Therapy
Many couples are unsure if couples therapy is right for them. A common misconception I hear regarding couples therapy is that it’s only for unhealthy relationships or relationships on the verge of ending. Rather, couples therapy is helpful for couples to maintain or improve an already healthy dynamic, build further intimacy, and to help those couples struggling with more deeply rooted problems such as an affair, betrayal of trust, resentments or problems in their sex life. Couples therapy also helps with communication difficulties and with feelings of growing apart. Premarital counseling is another form of therapy common for couples before entering marriage. In short, couples therapy can be used to prevent problems, maintain a healthy relationship, further enhance a strong bond, just as much as it can be helpful for working through deep hurts and resentments.
