Who Should Work with a Couples Therapist?
A lot of couples think, “We don’t need couples therapy, it isn’t that serious.” Here’s the thing: Couples therapy isn’t just for couples who have “serious” issues. In fact, it can prove beneficial to all couples, as couples therapists set out to help their clients improve every aspect of their relationship. Let’s consider a few examples: A newly engaged couple can benefit from premarital counseling, as they learn new tools for communicating and resolving future issues. Another couple, say two people who are newly dating, can benefit from couples therapy, as they get to know each other better with the help of their therapist.
That said, couples therapy is a place for couples to work through the serious or threatening issues in their relationship. Some common issues that are brought up in couples therapy include:
- Sex issues
- Lack of intimacy or connection
- Communication problems
- Disagreements in parenting
- Jealousy
- Infidelity
- Addiction
- Mental Illness
- Trust issues
There are many other issues that come up in couples therapy. These all depend on the couple at hand, as needs and goals vary. If you are interested in building a happier, healthier relationship or preserving the love that you have for your partner, consider working with a couples therapist at Thriveworks Richmond (Shockoe Bottom).
