Why People Choose to Seek Out Relationship Counseling
Couples choose to seek out couples counseling for different reasons. Counseling services are a good fit for couples looking to resolve short-term problems or to breathe life into a relationship that feels stuck. Some couples seek counseling to address longer-term issues while others use it to open up lines of communication.
There are many reasons why couples decide to get professional support, including:
- Financial difficulties
- Intimacy issues
- External stress
- Disagreements on parenting
- Persistent feelings of resentment or jealousy
- Substance abuse
- Lack of communication
- Mental illness
- Behavioral issues
If you and your partner feel like something is missing and want to work to make your relationship better, consider seeing a couples therapist. At Thriveworks in Bentonville, AR, we offer a variety of services to help you take your relationship to the next level.
How Does Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling Work?
The first part of counseling typically involves establishing the problems that you and your partner have experienced and how you’ve handled them in the past. Sometimes, underlying issues are not immediately apparent and may require some investigative work to unravel. To do so, your therapist may ask you and your partner questions about your relationship dynamics, current stressors, and wishes for the future.
Once the reasons for seeking therapy are laid out, the couple and the therapist will often work together to establish a timeline and goals. For some, the approach may center around solving a specific problem. For others, couples therapy or marriage counseling may involve building the skills necessary to work through future problems.
With a plan outlined, a couples therapist can address the dynamics that underpin your relationship, helping you and your partner understand your respective roles in any dysfunction that may be occurring. From here, your therapist can help you establish healthier patterns of communication and develop strategies to reach your goals.
