WHAT IS COUPLE THERAPY?
Couple therapy is a great way for couples to sit
down and discuss their relationship problems in
the presence of a counsellor or practicing
therapist who is experienced in dealing with
relationship issues. It will usually involve a
series of sessions you have with your partner and
a therapist the aim is to get the both of you to
better communicate about your problems and build
a healthier rapport.

FIGURE OUT YOUR OBJECTIVES

• A relationship advisor or therapist can help you
  only if you know what you are trying to get out
  of the process. So even before you visit a
  therapist, its important for you to be clear on
  a few things -
• What exactly are you hoping to achieve
• What are the things that bother you the most
  about your relationship?
• How are you contributing towards improving things
  in your relationship?
• Where do you see yourself as a couple in five
  years?

BE PROACTIVE AND OPEN TO SHARING
A therapist is not a wizard who can wave a wand
and miraculously solve all your relationship
issues. They will need your inputs and
willingness to share your points of view in order
to better help you as a couple. Go in with an
open mind and a sincere willingness to find a
solution. Part of the job will be to get you
comfortable with the process so that you can open
up and participate in the discussion.
