HOW CAN A MENTAL WELLNESS COACH HELP RESOLVE CONFLICTS BETWEEN COUPLES.

Let’s start with a general question that a therapist asks all the couples in the first meeting. “How’s your relationship going with your spouse or partner? Are you both struggling to have a thriving relationship?

If you are in the midst of a relationship struggle or crisis, you may be working to address the problem on your own. There is nothing wrong there; normally, you stay committed to getting a solution for your relationship. However, it is better not to wait too long before actively working on your problems with the guidance of a mental wellness coach.

So, next, is when to seek relationship counseling?

Many people assume that you should only seek relationship counseling after detachment or divorce is looming. But that is often too late. Relationship counseling should start as soon as the obstacles get in the way of your regular life. 

Here are some signs that you might avail from a consultation:

You have difficulty in expressing your emotions to each other

You have one or more unsolvable conflict

There is ignorance, criticism, or disrespect in your interactions

You face challenges in making decisions together

A stressful event has moved your regular life

You felt betrayal, addiction, or behavioral issue

You want a healthy relationship

Here are five ways a therapist or coach can help you and your partner:

A coach can assist you to examine your concerns from scratch. Opposites attract, and you and your partner may have enjoyed each other's company from being different, but this can also cause conflict in your relationship. If your efforts to resolve problems are not working, it is smart to analyze other approaches. Sticking to your old solutions may only lead you into a never-ending cycle of conflict. A mental wellness coach can offer you a different perspective to prevent fights, manage them to the extent of the disagreement, and address them afterward to heal your pain or resolve your frustration or anger.

They can motivate you to express yourself more sensitively. Anger, frustration, and hurt may have made you stop talking to each other. Avoiding your problems by not talking is a big problem. Talking is the only solution for clarity and peace between couples! It can break down the barrier you have created between you. Communicating is essential for a healthy relationship, but it has to be the kind of talk that nurtures positive interaction. A counselor can help improve your communication. Quality talking and interactions can suggest opinions and restore trust and respect, which are the core of a loving relationship.

They can assist you to work on your issues without getting panicked. When you are overloaded with multiple emotions, it is natural to panic about what lies ahead and hard to identify what is so valuable in your relationship.
A coach can help you see or recall the strength to sort through the things that you need to work on fixing your relationship.

They can help you identify the reasons for constant conflict. You and your partner may have become so entangled in constant fights and your feelings that it is difficult for you to identify what usually leads to it. A coach is furnished with effective tools that can help you understand the signs of an imminent conflict. With their help, you can minimize if not dodge toxic confrontations.

Most importantly, they can assist you to improve your bonding and your relationship. If you both are willing to do what it takes, one thing is for sure, it's all because there is love. It may have been blurred out by your temporary conflicts and issues, so you need to work on them to make that love and commitment take center stage again. Your coach can help you see things in a different light by speaking, accepting each other’s flaws and faults, and working on ways to fix old problems and block new ones from growing too intense.

Last Words:

Deciding to go for couple counseling can be tough. If you have a disturbed relationship, however, seeking help is more effective than overlooking your problems or expecting them to get better on their own. While in sessions, your coach might give you homework or ask you to try new techniques of communication and interaction in between appointments. It's going to take time and effort, but remember one thing that it is worth it.
