What Will Our Couples Therapy Session Involve?
People come to couples therapy with different goals in mind, from resolving a specific issue to developing specific skills to working out amicable terms at the end of a relationship.
When you first start couples therapy, your provider will speak with you about your concerns and goals for therapy in order to create a treatment plan tailored to your preferences. Your couples counselor or therapist may incorporate one or more types of therapy during your sessions, including:
- Narrative therapy
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT)
- The Gottman Method
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
Each form of therapy offers a different set of benefits that can strengthen your connection or help resolve conflict. In narrative therapy, for example, you’ll learn to be the owners of your own experiences. This type of therapy will empower you and your partner to speak your beliefs and to see where your narratives fit into the larger world. You’ll also learn how to separate your problem from yourself, which allows you to view complications more openly and honestly.
In addition to therapy, your provider may also implement self-care techniques and suggest exercises for you and your partner to try together. Some of these exercises may include taking up a hobby together, attentive gazing, or reading educational literature.
