Couples therapy

Today I finished a course on couples therapy, and I found it very interesting to think about the session not only for one person but for two, and that third element, the interaction between them. Definitely, this type of therapy represents a challenge for therapists, but at the same time, I am sure it will be an important source of growth and satisfaction in professional practice. Repairing and reconciling the couple may be one of the objectives, but not necessarily the only one.

The idea will be to flexibly assess where they are right now, listen to their expectations, and work according to what they need. In some cases, ending the relationship in a compassionate and respectful way may also be a valid option for guiding our work with the couple seeking counseling.
