  • In couples therapy, an ideal approach recognizes the profound influence of our past experiences, family dynamics, and previous relationships on our current interactions. By exploring these foundational elements, couples can gain insight into how old patterns shape their present behaviors and emotions. This understanding fosters empathy, allowing partners to better appreciate each other's perspectives and struggles. As empathy deepens, it can significantly enhance communication and connection in the "here and now." Ultimately, this therapeutic journey empowers couples to break free from unhelpful cycles and build a healthier, more supportive relationship together.

  • The duration of couples therapy can vary significantly based on the goals and challenges facing the couple. On average, many couples typically engage in therapy for about 3 to 6 months. However, the specific time frame can depend on various factors, including the complexity of the issues being addressed, the commitment level of both partners, and the progress made during sessions. Each couple's journey is unique, and some may find resolution sooner or require a longer period for more in-depth work.

  • In couples therapy, the dynamic between partners is regarded as the client rather than focusing solely on the individuals involved. This perspective shifts the emphasis from mediating disputes or assigning blame to understanding and addressing the relationship itself. Neutrality is essential; it allows both partners to explore their feelings and perspectives without fear of judgment or bias.
