Episode 5: Couples Counseling
Ben Friday
Welcome back for another episode of Inside Look! This time, we will be discussing Couples Counseling, which is a common reason for people to seek therapy. Issues often start around communication, but we quickly notice that hurtful patterns of interacting, our own childhood trauma, and expectations about how a relationship is supposed to be can cause a host of arguments and conflicts with our partners.
In this episode, we look specifically at the variety of goals for couples work, along with some of the common pitfalls and myths that people believe. To end, we will discuss two of the leading models for couples counseling that have an evidence base and shown strong outcomes for decades.
