Blenda Oliveira demystifies the idea that the resource should only be sought in times of crisis in the relationship
Often they associate couple therapy as a last resource and seek it only when the relationship is already in crisis. However, according to the psychoanalyst and a doctor in PUC-SP psychology, Blenda OliveiraThis vision is limited and incorrect. The therapeutic process can be a tool to strengthen the link, improve communication and develop a space for mutual listening.
Couple therapy is an investment in the relationship
According to the expert, seeing therapy as a “rescue request” prevents many couples from exploiting their potential preventive. “The therapeutic follow -up is also an investment in the relationship as it helps to identify the behavioral models that can generate conflicts in the future and make room for healthier dialogues.”explains.
This movement highlights the psychoanalyst, is similar to the way many people face the care of physical health. “Just while we are looking for a doctor to prevent diseases, couple therapy can work as preventive care, promoting the construction of more aware and less reactive relationships.”adds.
Transition periods
In addition to supporting couples sometimes difficulty, therapy is indicated in transition periods. Situations such as the birth of a child, work changes or even pension can alter the dynamics of the couple. In these phases, having a therapeutic space promotes adaptation and strengthens the link in the face of the inevitable changes in life.
Another fundamental point is that couple therapy does not seek “guilty”. The process focuses on understanding the construction of the dynamics and contribution of each partner to the balance of the relationship. “More than underline errors, therapy tries to create conditions for everyone to understand their needs and learn to communicate them clearly”emphasizes Oliveira.
Couple therapy is emotional maturity
The expert also stresses that investing in the therapeutic process is not a sign of weakness, but of emotional maturity. “The couples that open up to therapy show the desire to grow together and learn new ways of dealing with the challenges of coexistence. This choice shows responsibility and commitment for the relationship.”He says.
Finally, for the mixture, it is necessary to naturalize the search for psychological couple care, without stigmas or prejudices. Unlike indicating an imminent end, the search for therapy can be precisely the beginning of a new phase of the relationship: more solid, conscious and loving.
