Short Term Counseling Success
There has been a lot of discussion and research into the question of what kind of couple receives the most benefit from the least amount of marriage counseling. In other words, what type of couples can get help the fastest, in the least amount of sessions. Like any type of generalization, there are absolute exceptions.
So what kind of couple receives the most benefit from short term or one session marriage counseling?
- Couples who are still in active love.
- Couples who are open to therapy and change.
And what kind of Couple receives the least benefit from short term or one session Marriage Counseling?
- Couples who wait too long before seeking help.
- Couples where one is already set on getting a divorce and are closed to suggestions that may save the marriage.
Instead of looking at these items in the terms of who benefits the least from short term counseling, look at them instead in terms of what will benefit each the most. They are a different set of problems and require different solutions.
Couples who have been waiting a long time before entering into marriage counseling are couples who have had years to build bad habits and negative responses and behaviors. Habits that took years to form take time to change and it would be irresponsible to assume otherwise.
Couples who are still in love but need help resolving some marital issues are having a specific problem that can be addressed in specific ways with specific solutions, making this type of relationship perfect for short term counseling.
Long term marriage counseling is often the best tool for those who are having issues in long term relationships.
