How Couples Therapy Helps
Couples therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental space to discuss strengths and weaknesses and consider new strategies for enhancing relationship satisfaction. The Potomac Therapy Group team is here to support you as you cultivate deeper intimacy and connection in your relationship. While there are numerous specific issues that couples work to address in therapy, most couples decide to move forward with therapy to help in one of three situations:
Relationship building – those who are just getting into a relationship or making a commitment like planning for marriage, may schedule therapy sessions to ensure they establish a strong foundation. This may include talking through some of the top relationship stressors with their therapist. Things like money, careers, family, religion, and other potential stressors can be reviewed with an impartial therapist to provide perspective and guide the conversation in a positive manner.
Working through struggles – whether there’s a difficulty within the marriage like infidelity or otherwise damage trust or life challenges in general are causing concerns, therapy can be a beneficial resource.
Sustaining partnerships – life is difficult. Sometimes, being in a committed relationship year after year is taxing. You take your focus off your partnership and put it into your work or family. Suddenly, years pass, and you don’t feel close to your partner. Therapy can help you reclaim that sense of closeness and intimacy or sustain feelings of passion even after you’ve been together for decades.
