Couples therapy, what it is and what it is for: usefulness of therapy.

When a couple has problems in their relationship and they are unable to find a solution, but they continue over time, there comes a time when said problems begin to progressively deteriorate, generating a high degree of dissatisfaction and possibly destroying it. From then on, some couples decide to go to a specialist psychologist for couples therapy to help and guide them to progressively improve their relationship.


But couples therapy is not only useful for couples with problems, but a couple who has established a good relationship can perfectly go to a psychologist specialized in couple relationships to learn to communicate better, prevent future conflicts and have a more harmonious relationship. and lasting, as well as strengthen their bonds and get to know each other better.


Therefore, couples therapy is the effective therapeutic process to address and solve problems of lack of communication, infidelity, sexual dissatisfaction, loss, mistreatment, abuse, jealousy and pathological jealousy, problems with children, problems with families of descent, clash of values, to deal with traumatic events, coexistence problems and face (if applicable) the decision of separation and/or divorce, through mediation and intervention and the establishment of guidelines for the elimination of conflicts and the promotion constant mutual agreement.


In couples therapy, in the first place, the specialized psychologist performs an evaluation of the situation or diagnosis (both as a couple and individually, taking into account the personal characteristics of each of the members of the relationship) to find out what the problems are. that they have and if they were raised, the objectives that they want to achieve with the therapy, and thus define the type of intervention that needs to be carried out.


The duration of couples therapy is always limited in time, although the number of sessions or consultations will depend on each couple (it is understood that each couple is different), the number and complexity of conflicts and problems to be dealt with, the if problems external to the relationship that could be affecting them had to be addressed, if there were any specific problems of a clinical nature in any of the members of the couple (for example depression or an anxiety disorder), etc.


During the therapy, the problems that affect the relationship are analyzed in order to have a better understanding of them, learn to solve them and analyze the differences rationally, to recognize which are the erroneous ideas or beliefs that could be modified, to detect which are the behaviors and attitudes that must necessarily be modified and learn how to do it, to listen empathically, understand and accept the other person, as well as accept individual differences. In this sense, couples therapy is to a great extent a process of change and personal development, and this process will lead to an improvement in the relationship.


BENEFITS OF COUPLE THERAPY:


- Media in conflicts (prevention and resolution). In this sense, the therapist will lead the couple to agreements.

- Work on communication difficulties, making it clearer and more assertive: training in communication skills.

- Promotes the balance of individual differences within the relationship, from differential psychology.

- Allows the strengthening of psychological and sexual connections.

- Works on emotional dependency and reinforces the autonomy of each member of the relationship.

- Improves the general quality of the relationship by increasing the level of satisfaction.

- Investigates marital or couple social skills and intervenes when there are deficiencies.


The main objectives of cognitive-behavioral therapy with couples are the restructuring of inadequate cognitions and false beliefs, the management of emotions (emotional intelligence), the modification of dysfunctional communication patterns and the development of problem-solving and decision-making strategies. appropriate decisions, which will lead to a significant increase in satisfaction and the elimination of conflicts in the relationship.

HOW LONG DOES COUPLE THERAPY LAST?


The duration of the therapy is usually limited in time, although the number of sessions will depend on each couple, the number of conflicts to be dealt with and their complexity, etc. It can be required from a few sessions to treat a specific problem up to several months in cases of very deteriorated relationships.


COUPLES THERAPY PRICE:


Couples therapy sessions cost €70 per session (minimum legal rates established by the Valencian Community Official College of Psychologists apply) and last approximately one hour and a quarter: couples therapy sessions couples require adequate time (they must be done without haste and without having to constantly look at the clock) so that communication is not distorted due to stress.


Couple crisis..... when conflicts arise.


When can we begin to detect that the expression of conflict in the couple begins? And to what extent is it perceived and expressed to the other? The alarm signal should sound at the moment when the other begins to disappoint, or is not perceived as the one who should meet the expectations that had been placed in the relationship and high-intensity negative feelings begin to emerge, which are reflected in misunderstandings, dissatisfaction, frustration, etc. and that in turn will be the ones that will weaken and put the couple at risk.


All this exchange will be expressed in everyday things, and among them those that imply the organization of household chores, availability of time, organization of individual and common spaces, decision-making, expression of affection, etc., all of these being circumstances "the battlefields" where the expression of these divergences will be manifested in a more accentuated way and with the counterpart that will be detrimental to affection and the realization and manifestation of rewarding behaviors for the other. Therefore, we could point out that when expectations, beliefs about the relationship and the way of interpreting the other do not meet the initial idea of "what should be" and becomes "what really is" and there is no acceptance nor adaptation, since it does not cover the "ideal of the relationship", it is when the conflicts and therefore the crises emerge and are triggered.


In the moments when the couple is more vulnerable and with more probability that the negative aspects are enhanced is where situations such as infidelity can occur, and when this is "discovered" or expressed it is a factor that once again tests the ability to "recover" the relationship or, on the contrary, be a form of "expression" of what the other does not cover and the need to "break" with the situation.



    My way of approaching couples therapy is mainly based on: promoting the personal growth and autonomy of each of the members of the couple to achieve communication based on sharing their own experiences and experiences, which nourish and enrich the common space of the couple. relationship; the understanding and acceptance of the other's values and beliefs to promote respect for them and thus avoid "shocks" that are harmful to the relationship and the creation of coping strategies to resolve any event that may "hinder" the proper development of the same. I start from a dynamic conception of the relationship that necessarily implies a common development and evolution that is largely based on personal growth, which must feed positive expectations for the future together with the couple and necessarily imply a shared time and space.

 


Goals


The main objective is for each of the members of the couple to learn new skills that allow them to improve their relationship and also feel better about themselves. The relationship will improve when its members learn to communicate correctly, to express their feelings (both positive and negative) and to discuss their problems in a positive and constructive way that helps them find consensual solutions.
The therapist's objective in each therapy session will be to lead the couple to reach agreements on what has to be done (establishment of guidelines and short-term objectives) to observe improvement until the next session. In this sense, couples therapy is absolutely practical and for this reason it should not last forever, but rather it must be a well-defined process limited in time.

1. A relationship must be based on good communication, respect and trust.

2. Sometimes the impossible just takes a little longer.

3. If you don't ask, the answer will always be no. If you don't take a step forward, you will always be in the same place.

4. As the wise say, the kiss is also a form of dialogue, talk to your partner!

5. The small -or big- differences with the couple are what make the relationship unique.

6. Love should not claim any possession, but freedom for both.

7. We should not expect our partner to do everything we want or need, each person is different and acts in a specific way.

8. Don't choose the most beautiful person in the world, choose the person who makes your world more beautiful.

9. Life is not forever, live it with people who make you feel happy and loved.

10. Healthy relationships must grow with boundless trust.

11. Do not expect to have everything to enjoy life, you already have life to enjoy everything
