How does couples therapy work?

Clarify goals

In couples therapy, we start by clarifying goals and visions for the relationship. Secondly, to take a common position on the process.

2. Mapping of dynamics  

Furthermore, a mapping of the dynamics that gets in the way of the good contact comes before we work out some strategies to change the locked patterns.

3. Break the automation

The next step is to break down the automatics we typically see where couples end up in self-reinforcing circles. Starting to recognize and break this automaticity often gives an immediate boost.

4. Deeper understanding

After a while, as we manage to change the worn out record that has been playing, there often comes a phase where you can gain a deeper understanding of each other.

5. Marriage counseling

Couples therapy at its best makes it possible to not only find each other again but maybe even find each other again. This is why marriage counseling can be so valuable.

For some, it does not take much to find a new course. Some couples just need a little advice from a couples therapist. For others, more fundamental changes are required. The bigger the upside can be - finding back to each other has an infinite value.

How much you will get out of cohabitation therapy depends a lot on the collaboration we are able to establish. You will quickly find out if there is something for you.

Typical cohabitation problems

There are so many normal psychological traps for couples to fall into. Life is sometimes difficult, and so is the relationship.

Many people who seek couples therapy do so a little late, after the problems have developed into fairly cemented patterns. You can often end up blaming a lot of what is difficult on your partner. Or one gets stuck in patterns to relate to each other that act mutually reinforcing, in negative spirals.

A crisis in the relationship is often the breaking point needed to start a constructive process with cohabitation problems that have often simmered for a long time. It is not uncommon for such crises to occur in connection with transitional phases, when one party considers a break-up of cohabitation, or through infidelity.

Couple therapy in case of infidelity and breakup or divorce

After infidelity is about how to overcome infidelity, find forgiveness and regain trust after infidelity. This often requires a lot from both parties. When thinking about a break-up or divorce, it is often a challenge that one party has come much further in the process than the other.

It has often built up a distance over time. Often new things can happen when both parties are updated on the inner processes of the other. In the many transitional phases of life, the set patterns in the relationship are often challenged. This can be utilized in a positive way. Crises and change are often unpleasant, but they also represent a great opportunity for growth and development.

We will do our utmost therapists to assist you in using the current crisis as constructively as possible. In some cases, it is about helping the parties through a breach in the most orderly way possible.
