Guess what? Only 31% of couples undergo premarital counseling, and merely 19% seek some form of couples therapy. Shocked? So was I. In this episode of Demo with Mo, we unpack the often misunderstood topic of couples therapy - from the surprising statistics around its usage, to the benefits of investing time and effort into improving your relationship. We pull back the curtain on the significance of premarital counseling, the importance of having hard conversations early, and even touch upon the delicate topic of when it might be time to go see a professional.
You might think you're alone in struggling to keep your relationship afloat - you're not. The societal pressure, shame game, and denial discourage couples from seeking help. The stigma surrounding therapy often hinders couples from working on their relationship. But hey, let's bust this myth - a relationship requiring effort is not doomed to fail! Dr. John Gottman has curated a list of 15 telltale signs that could suggest it's time for you and your partner to consider couples counseling. Remember, it's not a sign of weakness, but a step towards a healthier and happier relationship.
Lastly, I share my journey of navigating therapy. From the enriching experiences, to the common barriers faced by many. The importance of finding a qualified, impartial therapist cannot be stressed enough - it can make or break your therapy experience. No more stigma, no more shame; it's time to open up the conversation on couples therapy. In the end, I encourage you to invest in your relationship and seek help when needed. Tune in for this heart-to-heart on Demo with Mo. It's more than just a podcast - it's a resource to help navigate the complex world of relationships.
