Helpful questions to ask your couples therapist

We’ve all heard that romantic relationships are difficult. They, like cars, require routine maintenance to keep them running smoothly. If there is a problem, it is best to have it repaired as soon as possible to avoid further complications.

We can often perform some basic maintenance and repairs ourselves. Sometimes behavioural couples therapy and the assistance of a licenced professional is the best option for the relationship. This type of relationship counselling focuses on improving a couple’s relationship satisfaction and conflict resolution. A counsellor’s ultimate goal is to assist in the development of a healthy relationship and the resolution of any issues that may arise.

What is Couples Therapy

Couples therapy is a type of psychotherapy in which a licenced therapist with clinical experience working with couples, most often a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), uses a variety of therapeutic interventions to help people in a romantic relationship gain insight into their relationship, resolve conflict, and improve relationship satisfaction. Although the practise of behavioural couples therapy varies depending on the theoretical orientation of the therapist, all couples therapy includes the following general elements:

A focus on a specific problem (e.g., sexual difficulties, Internet addiction, intimacy, jealousy) Active participation by the therapist in treating the relationship as a whole, rather than each individual separately
Early intervention should be solution-focused and change-oriented.
A clear definition of treatment goals.

Couples therapy can be intimidating in and of itself, especially if you have never experienced it before. To alleviate any initial anxiety, schedule a free consultation with potential couples therapists to determine fit before beginning the counselling process and ask these questions. (Also, conduct your research and consult with others!). Our call girls in Vashi and call girls Andheri East and West has also taken couples therapy.
