INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIP THERAPY, THE SOLUTIONS FOR DEEPER CONNECTION BETWEEN COU

Posted by James on June 10th, 2021

A relationship begins with one person (you). Individual relationship therapy is effective in strengthening your relationship. A recent study by Howard Markman, Ph.D. of the University of Denver, found that people who underwent individual relationship therapy saw as much improvement in their relationships as people who participated in couples therapy together. 

I see many couples in therapy who are exposed to counseling for the first time. Although I fully support couples counseling for anyone, including those unfamiliar with therapy, I find it very helpful that each member has undergone individual therapy before entering couples therapy. There are many reasons for this.

When someone has relationship or relationship problems, I am often asked, "What if my partner is not comfortable with couples therapy?" For couples therapy to be effective, both parties must be open and committed to the process. If that's not your case and your partner isn't ready for couples therapy, don't give up on the idea of therapy. By some estimates, struggling couples wait six years before seeking help. Don't let your relationship get worse over time. Instead, go for individual relationship therapy service in Bethesda.

Why you need the best individual therapist in Bethesda

If you feel disconnected and want more from your relationship, you are in the right place. With individual relationship therapy, we can help you better understand the dynamics of your current relationship, identify areas for improvement, and guide you through change. Together, we will explore what you miss and need from your relationship. We will talk about how you will go about meeting your needs. We will identify and work to provide you with the tools to communicate your needs in a way that brings your partner closer to you rather than away. Our work will give you a clear perspective on your relationship that will help you connect more fully with your partner.

A troubled and painful relationship will make the person more insecure in her style (more anxious or more avoidant). Learning to interact with each other safely will produce more security in your relationship, and, over time, each of you will develop a stronger bond.

Relationship problems can often be solved when partners are willing to cultivate an awareness of their feelings and express those feelings effectively to their partners. During individual relationship therapy, you will also discover common patterns that develop in miscommunication. Only when both partner truly understands each other, this can help to solve their problems.

There are many ways to manage a relationship, even if each relationship is unique in its way. If you are stuck in this situation and feel that you have tried everything else, you need to consider individual relationship therapy.

Individual therapy can further elaborate couples therapy and help each partner explore how their current relationship fits their overall relationship patterns. Do not hesitate to contact us if you want more information about our individual relationship therapy services in Bethesda.
