Getting The Most Out Of Couples Therapy San Francisco

By Toni Vang


A lot of people who are involved with one another will come to a time when they find that there are issues in their relationships which are causing them a lot of problems in their daily life. This is where couples therapy San Francisco can be really useful because it addresses the core issues. There are many reasons why a couple will have a problem in their relationship, but there is no need to struggle by themselves.

Often people have found that they are not suited, so this is also beneficial, instead of staying together for years and years. Sometimes personalities are not suited and staying together for the sake of the children is just not a good idea. On the other hand, a married couple should always seek therapy before going ahead with a divorce.

It is not the best thing to take matters into your own hands because a trained and experienced therapist could actually be the lifesaver in your marriage. They will give you some direction and give you some stepping stones. It is not easy to know where to go next when you are married and often people find it easier just to get divorced.

A therapist will handle a mental disorder when something crops up, such as bipolar or depersonalization. This happens from time to time and it can definitely cause problems within the relationship. It often calls for intense therapy. Someone who is diagnosed with something like this, definitely needs to be attended for their own as well as the good of their spouse.

Often there are children involved and it becomes more tricky, but the therapist is trained to include them and work with the family to help and assist in the communication aspect. Often this is what it comes down to. Many families bottle everything up, and they need to express their feelings. The therapist will be able to be there as a guide.

Sometimes there is not a problem with the marriage, but issues arise when kids become teenagers and parents have different views of how they raise them. This can cause friction. Teens also become rebellious and turn to drugs and alcohol. One is so busy focusing on the children, that you don't have time for one another and this is another serious issue.

One has to have goals as well and work towards them. The therapist should take intervals with the couple to see how they are doing with these goals. They may need to work harder in one particular area or they may have achieved certain things, and they need a lot of encouraged.

One must remember that the couple should be willing to make the effort because without their participation this is not going to work. One can't simply sit on the couch and listen to the therapy. It is actually the other way around. One must also have goals and these will be discussed at the first session. You must say what you want out of therapy because this what you are paying for. Of course, you can change this as you go along.
