What is couples therapy like?
Depending on the modality that your couples' therapist uses, there could be variations. At Potential 22 Psychotherapy we use mainly experiental models of therapy. Hence, Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy which is attachment based as well as similar modalities such as internal family systems (IFS).
Attachment theory is the study of emotional bonds and relationships between people. An emotionally-focused couples therapist is not a relationship coach and does not give advise or homework. The focus of this type of couples therapy is to help our clients understand the underlying emotions as well as unmet needs and wants that are creating friction in the relationship. We believe that your emotions are the music to which you are dancing to as a couple and if your emotions are not comfortable, then the music to which you are dancing will also be dissonant. We believe that this lack of attunement leads to something that we call a negative cycle which then perpetually keeps the couple in a stressful loop when it comes to communication.
Our aim is to help you understand and communicate your unmet needs and wants from an emotional perspective. Helping couples to communicate on an emotional level also creates a sense of safety and trust which then leads to more empathy between couples and improves intimacy as well.
An IFS couples therapist also works with the attachment model and places importance on emotional safety and the capability of self regulating. In a few words, IFS acknowledges that not only do we live with external systems, family, friends, work, environment etc, but we also work with internal systems. Thereofore, we try to understand and communicate with the different parts of an individual to acknowledge every fear, every want and every need.

How many sessions of Psychotherapy will we need to do?
How many sessions of Couples Therapy are needed for your specific needs is entirely subjective. We don't have a specific set number of sessions that are required. Typically, we see couples for an average of 10-12 sessions where there isn't any complex trauma that needs to be dealt with. In cases of complex trauma we have also seen 20-30 sessions.
