Couples Therapy
Couples Therapy
Have you ever asked yourself…
- How do my emotions play a part in my listening and speaking?
- How do I effectively get my point across to my partner?
- What are the different types of conflict?
"The greatest impediment to understanding one another is our tendency to become emotionally reactive and respond defensively instead of listening and hearing each other" (Nichols & Schwartz, 1998).
Couples therapy can help couples enhance their friendship and increase their knowledge about what makes relationships work. Couples often learn key communication tools and gain greater insight into their behaviors that support or erode their relationship while in therapy.
Couples therapy can help you to learn:
- How your thinking and feeling affect your behaviors
- How your view of your partner can affect your relationship
- How to have a "positive sentiment override"
- How to "turn towards" your partner and "bids for affection"
- How to soothe yourself and your partner
- The "4 Horse men" of relationships
- How do you listen personally
Couples Therapy can sometimes be complimented by Family Therapy.
