Why does it Work So Well?
The first important question to ask if will your partner or family members attend therapy with you? Even if they refuse change can still occur and individual therapy is utilized. Studies show that when couples and family members are involved, therapy is faster and much more effective. There is the ability to work on the group dynamics. It leads to around 1/3 fewer session visits to accomplish the goals set out. Less money is spent and your family or marriage is back on track sooner.
The sooner the couple or family seeks therapy the easier resolution and effective change can occur. When couples wait to long and problems are far advanced there is a good chance one of the members of the family or couple has “given up”. They do not desire to work on the relationship. Communication may be very toxic and broken. It may be extreme and show signs of verbal, physical and psychological abuse. It can be very challenging for the therapist to help align other non participating members to bring down the defensive walls they have created. Getting in sooner than later works. You are both more willing to address the problems before they get out of hand.
