Useful Couples Empowerment Therapy Tips

By Robert Young


If love were enough, there would be no divorce or break ups. Everyone would stay together forever. Fairy tales would be real. But, that is not the case. The reality is that for a relationship to work for a long time, both parties must work hard at it. They must work hard at ensuring the happiness of the other. Part of that endeavor could involve couples empowerment therapy. This treatment is meant to help the parties learn how to interact and live in a way that enhances self-worth and personal power. It equips the parties with the capability to help each other and their own selves.

The self is the first stop on the journey to developing a more cohesive relationship. Personal issues can very easily taint a relationship that would have otherwise been good and beautiful. A professional will be able to point this pt on the first few sessions. He or she will see that there are more deeply rooted issues threatening to burst the seams of the union.

Thus, the importance of both individual and dual sessions. Individual sessions will be used to address those personal issues. The professional will help one tackle their past and how it could or has been affecting the present. During those sessions, the relationship barely ever comes up. Then the dual sessions are used to bring it all together. Each partner has dealt with their personal issues and can now handle those of the union.

There are introverts and extroverts. These are then broken down to many other sub-lets of personalities. Sometimes, a person struggles with the world of different personality wise between him or her and the partner. It is only natural. There is need to learn how to accept and appreciate these differences. To embrace the diversity. To have constructive discussions as opposed to explosive arguments.

If a relationship is unstable, the partners might end up being embroiled in a never-ending power struggle. This is rooted in the issue of lacking power over oneself first. Once one has a grasp on personal power and self-worth, they provide some give for the other. The couple learns to be powerful together as opposed to fighting to dominate. The fight or flight response is deemed unnecessary because there is no threat of powerlessness for either partner.

There are always choices and options in any scenario. What a person chooses is determined by his or her own views and perspective of the situation. Partners need to learn to recognize how each decision they make could possibly affect the other partner. The professional will urge the partners to choose each other every day.

Learning these skills will determine how well the union survives against societal pressures and adverse factors. The relationship may be a bubble but bubbles eventually burst. These skills will ensure that the two parties stay glued together despite any breach of the membrane.

Take time together to find a good professional. Do not go for the most expensive or the cheapest. Go for one with credentials and experience. Go for one with good reviews and knowledge of how to help. Then trust him or her.
