Couples Therapy Dallas For All With Relationship Problems

By Lena Stephenson


Just as people rush to doctors for help when they are sick, relationships also have a savior. Couples therapy Dallas helps partners with relationship problems find and resolve their source of conflict successfully. In fact, according to studies, with a good therapist, 80% of relationships thrive after counseling.

There are many reasons you and your partner would decide to see a therapist. Often, it is problems that neither of you can see, nor fix and hence, you need the perspective of a third party. Most couples report lack of connection, falling out of love and the many conflicts that go unresolved. Stress or life changes such as weight, birth of a baby and relocating are also bound to put pressure on a relationship.

Whatever the cause, the most important point to remember is that just like illness, the early you resolve conflicts the better for everyone. Whether in a marriage or any other type of short or long term relationship, do not wait for problems to escalate to seek counseling. Often, it may be too late, splitting, separation or divorce is likely to result from a relationship that could have been saved by counseling.

If you are wondering how counseling will help your relationship, relax, you are not alone. Therapists are equipped with problem solving tools that help couples detect their problem and resolve it. It is not an easy process because many conflicts arise due to an underlying issue that both of you may not be paying attention to. Through therapy, you will be able to undercover the mother of all your conflicts and resolve it.

How does a therapy session look like? It all begins by the counselor interviewing both of you. The interview will be done when you are together with your partner and sometimes individually. The purpose of the interview is for the therapist to understand both of you and your perspectives on the issue at hand. After the interview, he or she will give feedback to both of you and suggest a treatment plan based on the assessment.

Therapy begins when both parties agree that is their best way forward. For most people, twelve sessions are enough, although, it is different for everyone. However, by the fourth or fifth session, one should be able to see positive results if the therapy is effective. You will notice better communication and also some learning about your partner. There are also fewer conflicts, arguments and you will have more hope towards the relationship.

Treatment is effective only under the right therapist. He or she must be registered and licensed. In addition, one who deals with marriage counseling is best because they have helped partners in worse cases than yours. The best place to ask for referrals is from friends or doctors who have worked with the therapist before and can therefore, vouch for them.

In conclusion, remember that you do not have to call it quits, just yet. There are many other couples who have been in a similar situation and did not give up. Partner counseling has been used by numerous people with above average results. With a good therapist, positive attitude and optimism, it should work for you too.
