Choosing Appropriate Couples Empowerment Therapy

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.

Before the partners can work at being good together, they must learn how to be good on their own. This means that personal issues must be addressed and demons exorcised. These little personal things tend to hang over the relationship like a dark cloud threatening to burst all over the rosy relationship. The first place to start is the root, a professional will know this and do exactly that.

For this reason, it will be suggested that the parties attend some sessions together and others individually. This gives the professional a chance to dig through the psyche of either party. To look around and ensure nothing personal will hurt the union. It also provides a safe space to voice concerns that could potentially hurt the feelings of the other. Later, the partners will be able to voice whatever concerns they have without fear because the other party knows that it is not meant to be intentionally hurtful.

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.

There are two types of power in relationships. The first is the power to. This is the power to be in charge of emotional reactions and the general self. The other is power with. This is the power that the relationship holds when the partners act and work as a team. If the partners can learn to balance these two aspects of power, all will be well. It is imperative that power struggles stay out of the relationship.

During an argument, one can choose to be hurtful or they can take a deep breath and respond with respect. A partner can choose to make a decision without considering what it will do to the other or they can involve the partner in the decision-making. The point is to choose each other every day. For each partner to choose the 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.

When one chooses to seek out a doctor, it is expected that they will open their mouth without asking questions about why that needs to be. Trust the professional to help make things right. However, listen to your gut feelings when choosing an expert.
