In an unexpected turn of events, the global pandemic has reshaped the way couples approach therapy. More than a year into these challenging times, I’ve observed a distinctive pattern in the transition to online therapy for couples.
When the pandemic first hit, many couples chose to discontinue therapy for various reasons:
Not only did the number of ongoing couples decrease, but there was also a noticeable decline in new couples reaching out for therapy.
The transition to online couples therapy poses unique challenges. Unlike individual therapy where decisions are personal, couples therapy requires agreement and commitment from both partners. It’s not uncommon for one partner to be hesitant about the idea of couples therapy, creating potential roadblocks.
Adding the factor of adjusting to online therapy amplifies the difficulty. Many couples prefer to wait until the pandemic subsides to resume in-person counseling. The struggle is understandable, and we acknowledge the collective journey of figuring out online therapy together.
Here are responses to some prevalent questions raised by couples considering or currently engaging in online couples counseling over the past year:
Myth: “We Will Just Be Fighting More With Online Couples Counselling”
Fact: “The goal of couples therapy is never to let couples come in each session and fight about this week’s events or the events of the past years..”
Embarking on couples therapy, especially online, may be an adjustment. The ongoing pandemic has prolonged the need for support, and relationship challenges persist. The good news is that online couples counseling is an effective avenue to navigate these challenges.
