Relationships require hard work and still, challenges both large and small are imminent. Since simple, everyday stressors have the ability to strain an intimate relationship, major sources of pressure and anxiety threaten the stability of any relationship. Provided that each partner is willing to address these issues and participate in developing solutions, many relationship difficulties are manageable. However, when these challenges are left untreated, tension builds, destructive habits develop, and the health and longevity of the relationship are in danger. Therapy is an excellent option for couples who are striving to develop better communication skills, heighten intimacy, or learn to navigate new avenues in their lives. Those who expect a therapist to mediate arguments or take sides and declare which partner is right should avoid therapy as this is not what a therapist does.
Rather than taking sides or recommending that a couple end their relationship, counselors allow the therapy process to naturally unfold without a predetermined goal of saving the relationship. When a couple is experiencing problems or would like help getting on the same page, therapy is a fantastic option. Experienced therapists are available to help couples by supporting their relationship goals and assisting each partner when attempting to communicate his or her thoughts, needs, and emotions more clearly and to listen to the other partner more carefully. Furthermore, many clients also address their relationship issues through individual therapy, where they then attempt to apply that learning in context with their significant other.
