Couples Therapy Dallas For All With Relationship Problems

By Lena Stephenson


Just as people rush to doctors for help when they are sick, relationships also have a savior. Couples therapy Dallas helps partners with relationship problems find and resolve their source of conflict successfully. In fact, according to studies, with a good therapist, 80% of relationships thrive after counseling.

When do you decide it is time to seek a therapist? There are many reasons why you would consider seeking professional help. For some, lack of connection, growing apart or unresolved conflicts and arguments are the tipping point. In addition, stress and major life changes such as disability or weight issues may strain a relationship. Bottom line, see a therapist when you feel that neither of you can fix it.

You need to understand the importance of early counseling. Just like diseases, early detection and treatment also helps save a relationship. Marriages or long term or short term relationships are seriously hurt when partners wait for too long before seeking professional help. In most scenarios, they end up separating, breaking up or divorcing which is sad because it would have been salvaged if they had gone to a counselor early enough.

So how does counseling work to help your relationship? Therapists and marriage counselors have a combination of problem-solving tools that together with troubled partners solve the underlying problem. For most couples, their source of conflict is usually something entirely different from what they think. A counselor helps both parties to discover the underlying issue and resolve it so as to resolve all other conflicts between the two.

How does a therapy session look like? It all begins by the counselor interviewing both of you. The interview will be done when you are together with your partner and sometimes individually. The purpose of the interview is for the therapist to understand both of you and your perspectives on the issue at hand. After the interview, he or she will give feedback to both of you and suggest a treatment plan based on the assessment.

You and your partner have to agree to the plan of action recommended for therapy to begin. It may last twelve sessions depending on the situation since peoples needs vary. After the fourth or maybe the fifth session, subtle progress may be noticed if the treatment is working. For instance, there might be fewer arguments and you feel more connected.

Treatment is effective only under the right therapist. He or she must be registered and licensed. In addition, one who deals with marriage counseling is best because they have helped partners in worse cases than yours. The best place to ask for referrals is from friends or doctors who have worked with the therapist before and can therefore, vouch for them.

Lastly, do not give up on your partner or relationship just yet. There is still hope if you visit a competent therapist. Many others have been in a similar or worse position and they continue to be together. There are very many stories of success out there. Put on a positive mentality and be optimistic, it will work out.
