Does Marriage Counseling Work? | Dr. David Hawkins

Описание: When it comes to marriage counseling, not all problems are created equal. Rarely is one person responsible for 100% of the problems, but neither is it always 50/50 as many people would like to believe. When there is strong denial and blame shifting, it's hard to make any real progress and couples counseling at this point will get you nowhere.

This is the reason we have developed a process where every couple that comes to us starts with a thorough assessment where we determine what the underlying issues are and a treatment plan that in most cases does not start with couples counseling. Why does our marriage counseling so often involve working with the individuals separately? What we have found is that if there are issues such as emotional abuse, narcissistic tendencies, addictions, infidelity, past trauma, etc. these issues need to be addressed first before any kind of couples work can take place. Couples counseling will not be effective until the underlying issues are treated. Without first establishing emotional safety, couples counseling will only make things worse.

In this video, Dr. Hawkins talks about the need for triage and explains why couples counseling may not the best course of action for you.
