Episode notes
The Relationship Is The Client
- In couple therapy the client is the relationship itself, not the individuals battling for who is right.
- Anthony Chambers emphasizes focusing on what helps the relationship thrive rather than assigning blame.
Get Help For Recurring, Stalled Conflicts
- Seek couple therapy when you have repeating arguments that go in circles and produce no progress.
- Find a therapist trained in couples work rather than a general individual therapist to increase chances of success.
Choose A Therapist With Couples Expertise
- Ask potential therapists about supervised training and what percentage of their caseload are couples.
- Prefer clinicians who are board certified or whose practice is at least half couples work.
