387 SelfWork: Six Misconceptions That Keep Couples Away from Therapy

from The SelfWork Podcast · host Margaret Robinson Rutherford PhD

 This week we’re going to be talking about couples therapy – and what misconceptions keep couples away from trying it. I can’t tell you how wonderful it is when a couple comes in WAY before there’s a crisis. But most don't. And these misconceptions are often the culprit; these six misconceptions keep couples out of therapy which also acts to help them avoid vulnerability.What are some of these misconceptions? You're no longer in control. It takes too long and it's too expensive. Individual therapy is better than couples. And I'll also add some direct suggestions for those who might be talking about divorce.Hope you'll listen in!The listener email is one I won’t read.
