Does Couples Therapy Work?

Couples Need To Want Help

Couples therapy only truly works if both parties in the relationship are willing to get counseling, and want to learn and grow from it. Both individuals have to be willing to do the work assigned by the counselor and have to be committed to working both individually and together to face reality. Both individuals also need to be vulnerable and put their pride aside so that the relationship truly has a chance to thrive. Some couples find that attending individual sessions with the same counselor can help them gain confidence in their communication style and bring a sense of renewal to their relationship. Overall, counseling can give couples great perspective when they realize the impact that their relationship can have on their futures and sense of well-being.
