Are You Tired of the Same Old Marriage Counseling?
Are you struggling with your relationship? Do you find yourself yelling and arguing for no reason? Have you wasted your time, money, and effort on traditional marriage counseling without seeing any real progress? If so, you’re not alone.
The truth is, traditional couples therapy doesn’t always work. It focuses solely on the relationship, but ignores the personal challenges and growth each individual needs.
That’s why I’m introducing a new approach to marriage therapy that will help you find faster healing and fewer arguments.
The Inadequacy of Traditional Marriage and Couples Counseling
When you think of couples therapy, you might imagine sitting in a stuffy office with a stranger yelling at the top of your lungs while your significant other sits silently by. It can feel like a waste of time, money, and effort as you try to navigate your problems with the same old techniques that aren’t working.
The problem with traditional therapy is that it only deals with the relationship as an entity, instead of looking at the people involved. This means the therapy fails to look at the personal growth that both individuals require to strengthen the relationship.
As a result, traditional therapy can often lead to even more fighting and disagreements.
A New Approach to Marriage Therapy
That’s why I’ve developed a new approach to marriage therapy that focuses on the personal challenges individuals face in their relationship. I believe that by highlighting each individual’s issues, we can make faster progress in terms of healing and repairing the relationship.
Rather than relying solely on couples therapy, this new approach uses individual counseling to help each person work on their personal challenges. By assisting individuals in strengthening their personal growth, we can create a foundation that is more stable and healthy for the relationship to thrive.
A Formula to Helping Couples to Either Stay Together
The 80/20 Rule
My formula for strengthening relationships starts with 80% phone or Skype counseling, with just one session together. The initial focus is on individual counseling for the majority of the time spent with couples.
In this approach, joint sessions are rare, and only happen as required.
Honesty and Vulnerability are Key
Honesty and vulnerability are key components to success.
By encouraging couples to be honest and vulnerable in private therapy sessions, progress can be made that is otherwise impossible. This formula has allowed me to help countless couples save their marriages and move forward in a positive way.
The Role of Marriage Counselors
One common concern people have is whether or not marriage counselors ever suggest divorce. The truth is, marriage counselors are not in the business of suggesting divorces – nor are they expected to.
Marriage therapists are trained to guide their clients towards making the right decisions for themselves. The role of a marriage counselor is not to take action for clients, but to bring things to the forefront and help them move forward.
What’s the Success Rate of Marriage Counseling?
A common question is what the success rate of marriage counseling is.
The answer is that the rate of success depends on the techniques, logic, and relevance of the therapy. Traditional therapy has a success rate of only around 30% – 40%, while more contemporary methods have a success rate of up to 75%.
Conclusion
In conclusion, if you’re struggling with your relationship, don’t give up hope. Traditional marriage counseling doesn’t always work, but there are other approaches that can make a difference.
By focusing on personal growth and challenges, you can create a stronger foundation for your relationship to thrive. So if you’re looking to stay together, don’t hesitate to seek out a new approach and a new hope.
It’s crucial to remember that honesty and vulnerability are essential in making progress. By focusing on these key elements, couples can create a foundation for a stronger, healthier relationship.
So if you’re struggling, don’t give up hope. With the right approach and attitude, you can overcome any obstacles and achieve the happy, fulfilling relationship you deserve.
