Conflicts in relationships can have a variety of origins. Often they arise from the partners’ inability to understand the other party, his way of thinking, reacting or experiencing emotions. Difficult moments and conflicts do not have to end in a breakup. If both partners express the will to overcome difficulties and be together in the future, couples therapy may be of help to them. In Krakow, you can get professional help at Your Self Psychotherapy Center.

Psychologist for couples in Krakow – for whom is couples therapy intended?
Marriage and couples therapy is designed for people in whose relationship or marriage difficulties arise. These can be a variety of difficulties, the consequences of which are a decrease in satisfaction with life together, difficulties in communication, lack of trust, infidelities, conflicts, problems in intimate life, difficulties in raising children or disagreements about financial management or fundamental issues.
Couples therapy is open to all couples, regardless of their degree of formalization, length of relationship or sexual orientation. A prerequisite is that both partners agree to participate in the therapeutic consultation and that they are willing to do so.
When is couples therapy recommended?
Together with your partner or partner, you should consider couples and marriage therapy if:
- You have increasing difficulties in communication that lead to frequent conflicts;
- You feel a lack of satisfaction and closeness in the relationship;
- The need to make important life decisions (such as the decision to change jobs, move or have a child) creates tensions and crises;
- the arrival of the child has caused fatigue, a switch of roles in which you are not comfortable, or a lack of time for each other;
- You have difficulties in raising a child;
- one or both of you has an addiction problem, such as alcohol, drugs or gambling;
- problems arise in the relationship with unclear causes, for which you feel the need to seek the help of a therapist.
How does couples therapy work?
Initially, the couples therapist conducts discussions with both partners, during which he seeks to understand the situation that exists in the relationship. He needs to learn about the history of the relationship and identify sources of conflict and potential strengths of the relationship. Based on the information obtained, the therapist decides whether the couple qualifies for therapy. Obstacles to this matter will be:
- active relationship violence;
- active addiction;
- Treatment of serious mental disorders;
- Lack of involvement of one of the partners;
- conflict that is at the judicial stage.
Course of meetings
Couples therapy takes the form of regular meetings that take place in a mutually agreed structure. Specialists at Your Self Psychotherapy Center use teraoeutic techniques, theories and tools recommended by psychological societies during couples therapy in Krakow. With their help, they address specific areas of the relationship that need work during subsequent sessions.
How long does marriage and couples therapy last?
Couples therapy sessions are held at a frequency of weekly or bi-weekly, depending on the needs and capabilities of the couple. The intricacy of the problems, however, affects the total length of the therapy, which can take a few meetings or stretch over many months.
What are the benefits of couples and marriage therapy?
The first benefit of undergoing couples therapy is the ability to understand the sources of conflicts between partners. This allows spouses or partners to communicate more effectively with each other and resolve conflicts both in their infancy and advanced stages.
Another important aspect is acquiring the ability to understand the other partner’s reactions at the level of emotions and thoughts. As a result, the level of empathy between partners increases and the chance of rebuilding emotional and physical closeness increases.
Partners in a relationship after couples therapy have the tools to deal with crises in the future. It becomes easier for them to define those areas of their life together that they are both able to change, as well as those that need acceptance and understanding.
