What is Couples Therapy?

“Couple therapy is a type of psychotherapy consultation aimed at analyzing and treating conflicts that arise within a loving relationship. Depending on the type of problems that a couple suffers, the therapist adapts the treatment and the number and frequency of sessions to find the best solution for the relationship.

The main objectives that couples therapy aims to achieve are Recognition of the problem, understanding its functioning patterns (generally repetitive and polluting), the establishment of a new alliance for the renewal of the relationship, modification of their attitudes, and healthy and renewed communication. In addition, couples therapy is not only responsible for resolving conflicts so that the members enjoy a stable and satisfactory love relationship, but also deals with diagnosing and treating cases in which the best solution is a separation, accompanying the people affected in this process, and guiding them to make it as less traumatic as possible.» (topdoctor.es)
