Choosing A Couples Therapy Tulsa

By Marissa Velazquez


At the rate at which separation and divorce has reached in the present day, a quality couples therapy Tulsa is necessary. The family institution being the cornerstone to any society has to be protected now more than ever in the history of humanity. A very small percentage of therapist, 14 percent have formal training in the work they do hence the need to do a god research before presenting your problems to one if you desire to save the cherished marriage. Here are questions you should ask prior to opening your heart.

Ask if they have had any training in the field they are about to talk to you on. Let them be specific about the titles of the seminars they have attended on dealing with married people. This way you will know a real honest therapist from an imposter. The number of married people they have seen in the last 12months will also tell you about their experience.

Therapeutic sessions involving the relationship between two people are often based on two formats. The two types of therapies that are useful are the emotionally focused therapies and the IMAGO therapies. If you find out your therapist does not know how these are handled, then you may be dealing with an untrained professional.

Does he assist couples with communications or just gives advice? It has been proven that poor communications has caused the breakdown of almost all marriages that ended in divorce. This puts it at the top of the list of issues to tackle in order to restore a marriage. A therapist who does not know that trust comes before communications can work does not have any idea what they are doing.

Find out how your potential therapist will talk to you. A therapist should not be willing to separate you from your partner unless there are some extreme factors that play a role. These factors could include abuse or some form of trauma. These issues may need to be evaluated in a single session without the other partner present. Single session therapy, however, should not be continued if it can be helped.

Does the therapist have tendency to take sides? This is key to any therapy; neutrality in any instance is paramount for a successful resolution of marital problems. A good therapist should understand couples dynamics and find a way to fit in no matter the situation. He should see the married people as individuals who impact on each other causing further reactions.

Decipher how the therapist sees the married people, either as an emotional bond or just some contract needing renegotiation. When the bond is weak, no matter the exercises the therapist sends them to will not matter and will only result in distress. It is not about what each party should or should not do. It is about understanding how to read each others' emotions and understand the weaknesses and strengths of one another.

Finding a couples therapy Tulsa may not be as easy as thought. However, referrals from those who have had their marriages saved can be a place to start but do not take their word for it wholesale. Visit the therapist and ask questions and if you are impressed with the answers you can attend a session and see where it goes.
