Couples & Marriage Counseling
Sacramento Couples Therapy
Love relationships are exciting, joyful, sexual, and fun! Over time, the relationship can grow to be intensely intimate, caring, and loving in a way that commitment, security and close companionship naturally grow. If you’re reading this, your relationship may not be in the place you want it to be, or it may be in a place that doesn’t feel good.
Maybe the two of you are having communication issues, power struggles, sexual or trust issues. Your current situation doesn’t mean the two of you are not a good match, and experiencing conflicts in the relationship is not uncommon. Couples counseling is an ideal place to start because it can help you sort the issues out with an expert in couple problem-solving.
Benefits of Couples Therapy
The ability to openly talk about your relationship issues with someone that can offer an unbiased view and feedback to help you both gain insight into the problems. Often a different point of view can help change how you view the issue, and a different view often fosters problem-solving action.
- Work in a safe atmosphere to air your differences without judgment.
- Learn new problem-solving skills that can help you both learn to manage differences in a constructive way that brings about growth in the relationship.
- Start the healing process for any emotional wounds created during or before this relationship.
- Create a plan to move forward from the place your relationship currently is to the place you both invasion for the future.
- Have a therapist work with you both to create the ideal sexual experiences, expand intimacy, and learn comforting affection.
What Couples Therapy Is Not
- Marriage counseling cannot “fix” your relationship. It will take some work from you both.
- It cannot make anyone feel a certain way or make anyone do things they do not want to do.
- A therapist cannot prevent any couple from splitting if one or both partners are committed to breaking up the relationship.
- The therapist cannot tell you what to do with your relationship.
Myth Busting
There are some myths about couples counseling that are not true and should be discussed. Going to couples therapy does not mean anyone has “failed” and no one is “crazy” for going to therapy. It shows the strength and commitment of both people to go to treatment.
Couples therapy does not work pointing out who’s “wrong” in any given situation. The therapist works to sort through the issue for the goal of problem-solving and letting go of problems that are creating conflict within the relationship.
One session of couples counseling will not help you decide if you want to stay together or not. Keep in mind, your relationship did not get to this point in one day, and it will take more than one session to move from this point. Commit to a few sessions before making that decision.
