How To Approach Your Partner About Couples Therapy
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Despite long-held misconceptions, couples therapy is not a last resort reserved for people headed straight for divorce court. “Say, ‘I’m committed to our relationship and always working to make it the make best it can be, I’ve been thinking about couples therapy to gain some tools ― how does that sound to you?’ And then listen with openness to their response.” It’s common for one partner to be more interested in therapy than the other. “Individuals whose parents got a divorce when they were younger may be frightened that a request to attend couples therapy is a sign of the ‘beginning of the end’ of their own relationship,” Pirasteh said. “Present different options and see if your partner is open to any ― short-term couples therapy to focus on an upcoming event or specific incident, one or two sessions, an introductory phone call,” Ross said. “If you are unable to get your partner on board with the idea of attending couples therapy, consider attending individual therapy to process your own thoughts, feelings and needs,” Pirasteh suggested.
