DEFINING COUPLES THERAPY
Couples therapy is a form of psychotherapy that helps partners address and resolve issues that may be affecting their relationship. It typically involves working with a therapist who guides both partners in improving communication, increasing emotional intimacy, and resolving specific conflicts. The goal is not just to fix problems but to enhance the relationship’s overall health and satisfaction.
Therapists use a variety of approaches, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the Gottman Method, tailored to meet the unique needs of the couple.
