Useful Couples Empowerment Therapy Tips

By Robert Young


Romantic relationships are not easy to maintain. There are so many factors that could affect a partnership today hence the high rate of divorce. The one thing people should always remember is to constantly work at it together. Couples empowerment therapy helps partners in romance interact in a way that strengthens their connection. It also reinforces the self-worth and personal power of each partner. Partners should not wait until the problems blow up to seek some help, they should be proactive.

The first thing step to having a successful relationship is for each partner to feel secure and in charge of his or her own self. Each of them has to love, respect and value their own self before they can go and do that towards someone else. A professional will ask that each partner to look deep within his or her self for insecurities that could later come to ruin the relationship. Deal with individual issues first before tackling the relationship.

For this reason, it will be suggested that the parties attend some sessions together and others individually. This gives the professional a chance to dig through the psyche of either party. To look around and ensure nothing personal will hurt the union. It also provides a safe space to voice concerns that could potentially hurt the feelings of the other. Later, the partners will be able to voice whatever concerns they have without fear because the other party knows that it is not meant to be intentionally hurtful.

It is important to understand and appreciate difference and diversity. Like poles do not attract. One will usually be attracted to another person because they are drawn to their different views. It would be unfair to prosecute the partner for the same different views later. Appreciate them and respect them. The professional will help the partners develop an ability to provide a safe space to express all the different opinions without judgment or prosecution.

There are two types of power in relationships. The first is the power to. This is the power to be in charge of emotional reactions and the general self. The other is power with. This is the power that the relationship holds when the partners act and work as a team. If the partners can learn to balance these two aspects of power, all will be well. It is imperative that power struggles stay out of the relationship.

There are always choices and options in any scenario. What a person chooses is determined by his or her own views and perspective of the situation. Partners need to learn to recognize how each decision they make could possibly affect the other partner. The professional will urge the partners to choose each other every day.

Learning these skills is paramount to the survival of either partner together or separately in the society. They learn to present a united front to the world even when it may be a different story at home. They learn to weather external storms together without creating distance.

Do due diligence and get the best possible professional. Do not go for a quack who charges next to nothing just to keep the peace. This could do more harm than good. Once the treatment starts, trust the professional. Trust that this person who has been meticulously examined will perform their duty well and effectively.
