What is your go-to approach for couples/marriage counseling?

My go-to approach for helping people in couples counseling is to work towards taking criticism and blame out of conversations. Criticism makes one feel rejected and hurt. Utilizing many of the Gottmans' findings from research, I focus on noticing what's right and encouraging couples to speak their love, respect, and appreciation for each other.

What tools do you teach in couples/marriage counseling?

I teach the following tools in couples counseling: Gottman's Softened-Start Up (how the start of a conversation influences the outcome), active-listening skills (allows one's partner to feel understood via thought and feeling empathy), communication skills of disarming and empathy, and a structured process for conflict disengagement (if one becomes physiologically flooded, then they lose the ability to think clearly, change perspectives, and channel empathy).

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling?

I know a couple is making meaningful progress when the individuals report fewer conflicts, they have less intense conflicts, and each partner feels more respected, valued, and appreciated.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement couples/marriage counseling?

Clients can supplement their time in couples counseling by scheduling pleasant events together. Shared activities among individuals tend to increase a bond.

What should someone do to prepare for starting couples/marriage counseling?

To prepare for your first couples session, reflect on your own personal contribution to your relationship difficulties.

Marriage and Couples Counseling in Tallahassee, FL

If you know you’re struggling with an issue but are stuck figuring out how to fix it, the expertise and advice of Thriveworks Tallahassee’s marriage and couples therapists could offer relief and lasting solutions.

Common Relationship Issues

The couples counselors at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Tallahassee often see similar issues occurring with many different married couples. Of course, each partnership’s circumstances are unique, but the themes have a lot in common.

Accordingly, their experience can often help spouses achieve resolution with issues such as:

  • Differing Expectations – Partners often share different expectations and values. This means that, without clear communication and respect, they may be pulling toward different goals. When one partner is pulling the relationship in one direction and the other partner is pulling in the other direction, tension is inevitable. Couples can learn to respect each other in their differences and pull together, toward the same goals.
  • Disagreements about Family – Conflict with the in-laws may be a cliché, but there is usually some truth behind the stereotype. Disagreements about extended family can pull a couple apart. Depending upon where the relationship is, the couple may also have difficulty agreeing upon other family issues such as living situations, children, parenting, and marriage.
  • Communication Difficulties – Being open, empathetic, and vulnerable are valuable communication skills, but some partners have never learned how to communicate well. Other times, partners know how to communicate well, but they have taken their relationship for granted so they do not put the effort into good communication.
  • Difficulty with Intimacy – Intimacy certainly involves a couple’s physical relationship, but it also includes so much more. Intimacy can be any kind of meaningful connection. It can be emotional, physical, social, spiritual, and more. Cultivating intimacy takes care and intentionality, and couples can all too easily have difficulty with intimacy.
  • Distrust – Small things can erode trust, such as forgetting an important appointment. Whether the rift is big or small, distrust is a big issue with many couples. Trust can be re-established, but it takes consistent behavior and time.

How Could Relationship Counseling Help?

Whether the challenge is distrust, disagreement, different expectations, or something else, many challenges are simply growth opportunities. When partners have a skilled marriage therapist, they can often navigate these challenges and move forward with their relationship. How might marriage therapists help?

  • By establishing a reasonable timeline for change. Some adjustments need to be made sooner rather than later. Other changes take time. An experienced couples therapist can guide partners on which changes to make and when.
  • By de-escalating the conflict. When couples are in the middle of tension, they can all too often attack each other instead of the problem. Couples therapists have many exercises that allow the couple to de-escalate the tension and work together as they solve the problem.
