Benefits of Couples Therapy
We’ve worked with many couples in Los Angeles over the years. And something that our couples therapists often talk about is the benefits of couples therapy and the powerful impact of consistent couples therapy for enhancing connection and sorting through various common challenges that those in a partnership might face.
And while people often think couples therapy is something that is sought out when a relationship is in trouble, it can be just as powerful, if not more so, when it’s used as a preventative tool and strengthening resource for a couple. So, couples therapy can really be for most couples wanting the extra support and guidance from a licensed therapist.
Benefits of Attending Couples Therapy With Your Partner
Build a toolkit for better communication with your partner. A couples therapist can provide specific tools for communication with your partner that you can practice using both in and outside of sessions for better connection and more direct communication for daily use.
Process past issues or events that have impacted your relationship so you can better move forward together. With support from a licensed therapist, you and your partner can explore experiences that have caused a rift between you—or that have simply created points of pain that you are both wanting to heal from.
Discover the holistic impact of your relationship on your mind, body, and soul. Being in a partnership requires showing up with our whole selves. Therapy can help you to understand how that impacts you in every area of life.
Map out what you and your partner want your future to look like. This can be the fun part! Holistic couples therapy in Los Angeles can help you both to get on the same page and make sure you’re both aligned on your goals and how you want to work toward those together.
What You Can Expect in Holistic Couples Therapy
For couples looking into doing therapy together for the first time, it can feel both daunting and scary because the experience feels entirely new.
It can be hard to know where to start to find a good couples therapist. It can also feel scary venturing into this new experience when you’re not sure what to expect or know what you’ll encounter in couples therapy.
Generally, you can expect that your couples therapist will take note of what your goals are as a couple and what you want support around in therapy. From there, they will create a plan for sessions that align and support those goals.
You can expect your therapist to introduce new ways of communicating about difficult things. Your couples therapist will help you both slow down conversations so they are more productive and bring awareness to how you are relating to each other.
And while a lot of people come to couples therapy wanting to change their partner, you may find that you discover quite a bit about yourself and become empowered to make changes within yourself that positively impact your relationship.
