Most of the people consider individual counseling and couple counseling as the same thing while the fact is that they are quite contrary. In the former, only the issues of a single person have to be solved whereas in the latter, issues of both the partners have to be solved simultaneously. The general notion is that couples, whose wedding is on the rocks are only supposed to take counseling. In fact, the thing is that counseling. It should be considered just like a regular medical care plan and can be taken to infuse new excitement in to the marriage. The most common problem in a relationship is how you communicate. A therapist doesn’t force you to talk to each other. He only shows you how to talk to each other without triggering each other’s emotional buttons. He helps you to communicate effectively. The main aim is to get the emotions out of the way while the couples talk. Couples who opt for therapy should understand the fact that some issues can’t be fixed. For instance, if one of the partners had an affair, the very fact that a betrayal happened can’t be fixed. Instead, the therapist can help you to repair the damage and face the issues that occur after. As in the case of betrayal, the partner should work on building trust. The therapist can’t guarantee you success. The surgeon can only help if the couple is willing to make efforts with honesty. However, the fact is that if the partner feels that the counselor has already taken sides and is being judged, they might run away and find someone else. Perfection can’t be achieved. Couples counselling Melbourne work is not to make the bad stuff disappear but to make the couple realize the importance of the good stuff. The key is learning how to move together through the ups and downs of life, and weather them. And, the therapist is there to teach you the coping skills. A fighting couple has more hope than those, who are flat and unresponsive probably because they have already given up, which makes it even more difficult to help them. Even, if you are yelling and name calling each other, it shows that at least you are still engaged and that you have a chance of saving your marriage. Some counselors may use alternative therapies like Art Therapy Melbourne to help couples. Not all the counselors are same. They come in many stripes, from many different schools of thought and with many different schools of thought and with many different approaches. It’s all up to the couple to decide which Melbourne Counsellors is best for them.
