When to consult?

You get stuck in recurrent patterns, and you feel you lack tools to deal with it differently? Your relationship has become conflict-ridden, and you feel disconnected, misunderstood, like there is a wall between you and your partner?

Mostly, couples turn to a professional because they have “communication problems”. What lies underneath is the dynamic between two people that holds them hostage and compels them to repeat unproductive cycles of interaction or unhealthy attachment patterns, also called “vicious circles”.  

The couple therapy in Barcelona is a tailor-made course of several sessions, where you are invited to explore your dynamic as a couple, identify its dysfunction or unproductiveness, learn to disentangle it and find new ways to interact and new personal response to deal with conflicts.

When seeking therapy for couples’ issues, it is best to look for a licensed mental health professional with specialized training in couple counseling. Psychologists and clinical social workers are common providers of couples therapy. The most important factors are that the therapist has a collaborative approach, experience working with couples, and utilizes evidence-based techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or emotionally-focused therapy (EFT). Look for a therapist who helps you and your partner communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, increase intimacy, manage stress, and nurture your relationship. Therapy should provide a judgement-free space for each partner to be heard and understood. The therapist should offer perspective while empowering the couple to make positive changes together. With the right couples’ counselor, you can gain insights and tools to enhance your bond.
