Here’s How Couples’ Therapy Is Helping Couples In Mumbai The concept of therapy in general is still in its early stages in Mumbai. While you still have several different therapists dabbling in ideas like personalized therapy, group therapy and couple therapy, people in general don’t have the first clue about what it actually means. The idea of therapy itself is shrouded in a lot of mistrust, false assumptions and fear. However, in the bigger cities people have started opening up to the idea of therapy. They had started to understand the power of therapy and how it can change their life for the good. In such a scenario, something specific like couple therapy is often overlooked. Let’s deep dive into this concept and understand it in more detail. The idea of couple therapy comes from a bunch of insights that are atypical of couples in general. For instance, every couple fight and goes through issues in life. However, from time to time things reach a point where it seems like there is no coming back. Therapy works as a great tool to salvage relationships when they reach that point. However, therapy can be preventive as well. What this means is that even couples who are going through issues and trying to resolve them can seek the help of therapy. A few couples in Mumbai have sought the help of therapists for their relationship issues and this is how it works. The first sign of trouble in any relationship is the breakdown of communication. Partners stop talking to each other completely or at least stop conveying their feelings. This festers confusion and anger and leads to further issues. Any attempts to talk only lead to more arguments. The first aim of couple’s therapy is to teach both the partners how to talk to each other. It is the therapist's job to create a safe space for both to talk with cool heads and discuss their issues. The next step involves the therapist deep diving into their issues and trying to find the core of their problems. Very often small arguments and bickering have deeper roots and those need to be identified in order to reach a reconciliation. This is a tricky process and can take some time. It needs both the partners to be complete honest and totally dedicated to the idea of reaching a common ground. The final step is to teach people to communicate better. A common misconception amongst couples and people in general is that therapy is a never-ending process. However, one of the main goals of a relationship counsellor is to empower people to communicate better with each other. The idea is to ensure that couples can connect with each other even beyond the therapist’s office and the therapist will do everything in their power to empower the couples to work well on their own. When it comes to couple therapy, Mumbai's therapists are breaking new ground every day. If you live in a metropolitan city in India, you should have no trouble finding a specialist who should be able to help you through your issues.
