Reasons To Start Relationship Counseling

Relationship counseling involves a mental health professional meeting with a couple and talking to them about their issues. Your therapist or counselor will work with you to understand how both of you feel before creating an individualized treatment plan that can improve your relationship in a holistic way.

Therapy can help couples experiencing many different issues, including (but not limited to):

  • Difficulty communicating
  • Infidelity
  • Grief or loss
  • Intimacy issues
  • Financial disagreements
  • Issues with children
  • Loss of a “spark”
  • Difficulty resolving arguments

Counseling or therapy sessions can help couples resolve their differences and work toward a common goal. Consider reaching out to Thriveworks Counseling in Shreveport, LA if you want to start working with a mental health professional.

Takeaways From Couples Counseling

Going through a rough patch in your relationship can be difficult. Your therapist or counselor will help you make important decisions together and collaborate on changes you’d each like to see in your relationship.

Here are some of the things you might learn when meeting with a therapist or counselor:

  • Communication skills: Everyone communicates differently, and this applies within the context of our relationships, too. How you communicate with your partner, for example, is critically important to the health of your relationship. A licensed professional can identify where communication is breaking down so you can address those issues and communicate in a healthier way.
  • Prioritizing: Sometimes, you may have different priorities from your partner. That’s completely normal but finding consensus can be difficult. Your provider can help you learn how to balance your partner’s needs with your own in an effective way that makes you both happy.
  • Conflict resolution: Conflict is part of every relationship but there are healthy and unhealthy ways of handling it. Your counselor or therapist can teach you how to address conflict as it presents itself.
  • Listening skills: Communication is a two-way street. You might be surprised about something that your partner says during the course of a session. It can be tempting to become defensive but this often isn’t the best way to make progress. Your therapist can teach you how to listen to each other and mitigate future conflicts.

Mastering these skills can be helpful in any relationship –– sometimes, even couples with strong relationships schedule a few sessions with a professional to learn healthier habits and improve their bond. No matter where you’re at in your relationship, working with a counselor or therapist from Thriveworks Counseling in Shreveport, LA can help you solve your problems and grow closer as a couple.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
