Can Couples Counseling Work for Me?
evan
This is a question that is often asked by first-time couples counseling clients. Coming to couples counseling with a positive attitude and a willingness to discuss the problem at hand will significantly increase the likelihood that couples counseling will be helpful to you and your partner. The fact that you are reading this means you have the desire to improve your relationship in some way. That desire can be a powerful catalyst for increasing your relationship satisfaction.
The Statistics are in Your Favor
Recent research from the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists demonstrates that over 98% of participants surveyed indicated that they received the help they needed from couples counseling. Does this mean that 98% of people who get couples counseling succeed? The answer to this question is not always so simple. First, you must determine what defines success. Is success staying together even if you are not a match or staying with an abusive partner? Some clients describe succeeding as learning they have the strength to move on from a negative relationship, others describe it as preserving the relationship in the face of doubt or uncertainty. Coming to couples counseling with an open mind will help you determine what success looks like to you.
Being Proactive
Most couples think that there is no need to seek couples counseling if they are not having any problems in their relationship. Couples counseling does not always have to be used as a method to help a strained relationship. It is equally as effective at preventing relationship issues. Most problems that arise in a relationship can be prevented by learning how to properly communicate with each other. Often, couples that seek couples counseling find it easier to communicate with each other and to express their true feelings. This openness is a great tool for combating trust and other relationship issues.
Time is of the Essence
It is never too late for couples counseling, but the sooner you start, the better chance you have of finding success in your relationship. Letting issues in your relationship fester make them harder to overcome. It is believed among most respected couples counselors that the earlier you start working on your relationship, the more likely you are to experience a positive outcome.
