In this video, two renowned couples and marriage experts, Dr. Ellyn Bader and Dr. Dan Wile discuss what couples therapy is and what it is not. Dr. Randall Wyatt masterfully engages these experts in the key issues that many couples face when considering couples therapy. In numerous heartwarming stories, they describe the positive changes that can occur in couples therapy, even for couples who appear at first hopelessly deadlocked. They describe the two most common patterns in couples: withdrawal from each other and avoiding dealing with critical issues, or engaging in repeated conflict that leaves each partner hurt and angry. The relationship that each has entered with such excitement and hope has become a painful disappointment.
Despite the hope couple's therapy offers, many couples (or one partner) are reluctant or afraid to seek professional assistance. Couples Therapy: An Introduction can help ease these fears by laying out a roadmap of what the process entails, and providing some reality-based encouragement on what kinds of changes are possible. This video will be valued by couples of all types, as well as the therapists and counselors who work with them. |
