How Can a Third Person – the Counselor – Help Improve Your Relationship?
Believe it or not, your counselor is like your doctor. While the doctor diagnosis and treats illnesses, your counselor helps understand the underlying cause(s) of the discord in your relationship and suggests ways to rise over conflicts for a better relationship. How can a third person understand what you are going through?
A lot like a sympathetic friend who tries to understand what you go through and allows you to vent out anger and sadness so that you get back on your feet quick. Your counselor may not be exactly like your friend but he/she knows how to help you.
Dr. Marty Tashman, the renowned Marriage and Family Counselor, describes how he goes about counseling couples.
One – We get the problems, issues, and resentments out in the open and in a safe and productive place.
Two – We deal with the disappointments, resentments and anger.
I will also show you how to: rebuild your friendship and deal with different points of view.
Three – I will teach you how to build a new relationship, a relationship with: trust, understanding, kindness, fun, and love.
Can a couple really learn something through counseling? Yes, says Dr. Tashman. He lists quite a few things that you can learn during counseling.
- How to handle your partner’s rejection.
- Exactly what to do to get your partner to listen to you.
- How to handle your feelings of: hurt, frustration, and anger.
- How to turn around your partner’s hostility and rejection and open the lines of communication.
Irrespective the type of your relationship – married, engaged, living-in – counseling can come to your rescue when things seem to go wrong.
