When choosing to do couples therapy there is so much to be aware of. Chances are you’ve never done this before. If you have done counseling then it may not have been a good experience and you’re looking for something new or different.
Many couples only have one shot to convince their partner to do counseling. If you choose the wrong therapist or option you risk discouraging your spouse from trying anything again.
This experience will be different. It will be so much better.
Here’s what you can do to make it a great experience and a fast one:
1. Be informed about the process.
We have knowledgable Client Care Consultants available to help you over the phone.
Take the free online orientation to counseling HERE. It can be difficult to remember all of the important information to share with your partner. We took all of the stress out of it. Now you can just share this page with them.
You will feel prepared knowing what to expect which will help you speed the process up.
2. Don’t take short cuts.
There’s several ways people try to short cut the process only to find themselves unhappy with the results.
They look for the cheapest option even though it’s not the best option. And they don’t listen to good time tested advice.
It never fails there are couples and individuals who we will tell them something and they will think “well this is different” or “we’re different”. Don’t fall into that trap. Just remember if both people are showing up for therapy then there’s hope. If someone says otherwise seek a second opinion.
3. Courtesy makes it move faster.
If you let each other speak and you take turns sharing then things will move faster and be more fruitful overall.
4. Read the materials.
If your therapist gives you homework then try your best to do it. If they don’t give homework then it’s okay to ask for some. Click here for a first assignment that will help.
