Who Should Utilize Couples Counseling Services?

Here at Thriveworks, we believe that every single individual can improve their life by working with a counselor or coach. This goes for couples, too! You might benefit especially if you are experiencing problems that you can’t or don’t know how to manage.

For example, here are common topics discussed in couples counseling:

• Infidelity
• Lack of connection
• Jealousy issues
• Emotional or mental abuse
• Parenting conflicts
• Opposing visions for the future
• A lack of sex or physical intimacy

This is but a small list, which is not inclusive of all issues discussed in couples counseling. It would be virtually impossible to write a comprehensive list, as all relationships are different, as are the challenges they face. The good news is the couples counselors at Thriveworks Bensalem are skilled and experienced, which means they can help you and your partner address whatever it is that’s taking a toll on your relationship.

Finding Value in Couples Counseling: Beneficial Tools

Here’s the thing: your relationship could benefit from couples counseling even if you and your partner aren’t experiencing a conflict right now. How? Because, as we said earlier, no relationship is free of conflict. This means that a conflict will almost definitely arise in your future, whether that’s a month or a year down the road. You can get ahead of the game and begin to tackle it now by learning helpful tools like effective communication techniques.

Here are a few that your Thriveworks Bensalem couples counselor could teach you:

1. Use universal statements: Instead of using phrases like “you always/never” you should use “I” statements. These are more effective when communicating with your partner as they aim to focus on your feelings without placing blame on the other individual. As an example, it’s better to say, “I feel like I am not being understood,” as opposed to, “You aren’t listening.”
2. Stay focused on the topic at hand: Also, stay on topic. If you’re discussing a lack of intimacy, don’t bring up another argument you had last week or fight about who should do which household chores. You’ll be much more productive if you focus on one topic at a time.
