Couple's therapy; for singles and married
Speaking on couple's therapy; it's some sort write up I woke up to and decided to put it across, However.
What is couple's therapy? Couple's therapy is simply a type of psychotherapy in which a family counsellor, marriage counsellor or therapist assist two people involved in a romantic relationship to gain insights,resolve conflict and improve satisfaction utilising a variety of tools and therapeutic interventions. Through this therapy, the couple can strengthen their relationship and gain a better understanding of each other, while making thoughtful decisions about rebuilding or going their separate ways.
A therapist can work alone or after assessment may recommend some other interventions which may require seeing other experts depending on the recommendations and agreement of the couple to proceed further, e.g anger management expert, sex guide, sex therapist, play therapist etc.
Why do you need to see a therapist? Seeing a therapist doesn't have to only be when there is fire on the mountain. However, most people decide to wait until their issues have really degenerated before seeking help.
Few red flag issues to know you need help:
*You know something is not right
*When trust has taken a trip
*Communication breakdown
*Every conversation becomes a battlefield with arguments at every opportunity
*Anger
*Parenting
*Chronic health issues
*Infidelity
*Conflicts surrounding childbearing, child rearing or in-laws.
*Substance abuse or other addictions
*Emotional, physical and sexual intimacy diminished or a connection lost.
*Financial disagreement and challenges.

Problems do not disappear but are addressed. Many a time, stepping up to get an objective outlook from a professional third party may save a relationship. The hardest part is admitting you need help. Most individuals who have undertaken couple's therapy find the experience to be insightful and empowering.
Nevertheless taking an objective look at your relationship is crucial to help reduce dysfunctional behaviours, feel you can share your emotions, communicate effectively and emphasise what's working and what's not. Couple's therapy allows you to do this and more. Importantly, you need to remember that each relationship is unique and had its own strengths and challenges. Agreeing to couple's therapy will give yours the best chances for survival.
This does not work like waving a magic wand, it takes commitment and intentional determination to follow through the process and, of course, some money, too. In the end, whatever you do, you will have given it your best shot and can remain friends for life.
I've come to a conclusion that a couple's therapy is very vital and should be given a consideration in every relationship and marriages.
