Virtually all professional athletes have coaches, whether in team or individual sports. Why can’t couples have the same?
They can. Ultimately, a competent couples therapist is a coach, coaching couples to be more effective with each other.
In my work, couples discuss their most challenging issues in sessions and receive real-time feedback to become more skilled. I’m the coach in the room.
Instead of improving a swing, throw, or shot, I’m improving the words that couples use with each other. They connect, work through issues, and love more deeply. A skilled relationship therapist coaches couples to be at the top of their game.
