What is Couples Therapy?

“Couples therapy is a type of psychotherapy consultation aimed at analyzing and treating conflicts that arise within a romantic relationship. Depending on the type of problems a couple suffers from, 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 of its operating patterns (usually repetitive and contaminating), establishment of a new alliance for the renewal of the relationship, modification of their attitudes, and renewed communication and fury. In addition, couples therapy is not only responsible for solving conflicts so that the members enjoy a stable and satisfactory love relationship, but it is also responsible for diagnosing and treating cases in which the best solution is a separation, accompanying the people affected in this process and guiding them so that it is as least traumatic as possible.” (topdoctor.es)
