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.

Many people wonder how counseling helps their relationship. The solution is a combination of problem solving tools that counselors are equipped with. The tools help the partners undercover their underlying problem. The underlying problems are the cause of many troubles in relationships and most couples are not able to see that. The goal of therapy is to undercover the main issue and resolve it in order to solve all other troubles arising from it.

Once you have made your appointment, the therapist may interview you to understand both of you as a couple and how you perceive your problem. He or she may interview both of you at the same time or separately depending on the situation. After the interview an assessment is done and feedback given. From the assessment, the therapist may recommend a plan of action based on your problem.

Therapy begins when both parties agree that is their best way forward. For most people, twelve sessions are enough, although, it is different for everyone. However, by the fourth or fifth session, one should be able to see positive results if the therapy is effective. You will notice better communication and also some learning about your partner. There are also fewer conflicts, arguments and you will have more hope towards the relationship.

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.
