What is couples therapy?
Many couples argue, and according to counselors, for a normal couple, this can happen on average once a month or every few months. However, if your arguments end in fighting, resentment, or unhealthy coping mechanisms, you need to seek to change the situation and improve the relationship.
Couples therapy or relationship therapy helps couples learn healthy relationship strategies in their emotional relationship before or after marriage. Recognizing your unhealthy habits can be just as important as recognizing your partner’s unhealthy behaviors.
Relationship therapy can answer questions you and your partner have about the health of your relationship. Studies show that marriage counseling, relationship therapy, or couples therapy positively improves 70% of relationships. A counselor may teach you new communication skills, help you identify unhealthy behaviors, and help you develop your communication skills.
Also, couples therapy can work when both parties are willing to make an effort and are ready to make changes. If you are not actively involved in therapy, couples therapy may not resolve your conflicts, but it is often seen as a tool to help you and your partner resolve conflicts together.
When is it best to seek couples therapy?
There are many reasons why couples decide to see a couples counselor. For some couples, it starts with getting premarital counseling. Premarital counseling helps couples strengthen the foundations of their relationship, improve their communication skills, and learn how to deal with differences healthily.
Other couples seek counseling after serious issues threaten their marriage. Cheating, feeling like you’re falling apart, unhealthy communication, or lack of communication, frequent arguments, money disagreements, or problems with your sex life are common reasons to consider therapy. However, some couples who are in healthy relationships attend counseling regularly to continue to improve their bond and interaction with each other.

What should you expect from couples therapy in "psychic4 me"?
In the first few sessions, the therapist will learn about your and your partner’s reasons for seeking counseling and get to know you as an individual and as a couple. The therapist will ask you and your partner questions about your childhood, how you met, the early years of your relationship or marriage, your family, or other areas of your personal life. It is important to understand that this part of the treatment process is essential. Hearing your whole story will help your therapist assess your relationship and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Plus, sometimes looking back can help you put your current relationship problems into perspective.
