What To Expect When You Go To Relationship Therapy

 

Life Coaching and Therapy (LCAT)  is an individual, relationship therapy, and sex therapy practice that transforms our clients lives through our flexible, multi-technique approach and pleasure skills training provided by licensed systemically-trained psychotherapists. 

It’s time to do some reassessing on the relationships in your life and decide what kind of relationship you really want with your romantic partner. If not, you may end up in relationship therapy when it’s too late. 

Relationship therapy can help those with communication issues, desire discrepancy, and those who have a willingness to learn more. 

So…maybe you want a traditional, equal, or open, or kinky relationship? We know that there are a variety of relationship styles, yet how do you attain the type of relationship that you desire? 

Relationship therapy is a great place to begin, because it is discreet, confidential, and balanced. 

How do you go about determining what type of relationship you want? 

Where do you fall on the spectrum above? 

Compare with your partner(s).

This will provide valuable information. 

Once you know what type of relationship you desire, and if all partners are interested in creating that, you can begin to envision piece by piece the steps to get there. 

Some of the plans you can consider, if you don’t want to go to relationship therapy would be a systemic approach (mind, body, feelings, and soul). 

As a couple, it is important to continue to make relationship goals for yourself – that you accomplish as a team! Parenting is one example of how many couples accomplish relationship goals as a team. However, it isn’t quite as specific as relationship therapy for the parts of you that desire erotic and romantic connection. 

 

Life Coaching and Therapy is competent with and affirming of all relationship orientations and alternative sexualities, including: 

• Egalitarian or traditional marriage
• Religious or arranged marriages
• Long distance relationships 
• Interracial relationships
• Consensual non-monogamy
• Polyamory and / or swingers
• BDSM / kink / fetish sexualities
• Open arrangements
• Tantric and spiritual aware 

 

Life Coaching and Therapy provides relationship therapy that is affirming of all gender identities and sexual orientations, including:

• Lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals and partnerships
• Queer, transgender, and those individuals and partnerships that are beyond the binary.
• Partners of transgender and gender expansive individuals

 

Outcomes To Expect from Relationship Therapy: 

• Learn constructive conversation skills
• Decrease resentment and increase self-awareness
• Increase awareness about sexual pleasure and passion.
• Be more confident with your partner and in yourself 
• Become more knowledgeable about your needs vs. your strategies to get needs met that create barriers to progress and pleasure.
• Support partners in becoming clear about what they themselves want for pleasure and how to be more open to receiving that pleasure. 
• Understand how culture, cultural identity, and intersectionality are related to your behavioral health and your relationship
• Discuss how our bias, power, and privilege can affect relationships and come up in relationship therapy with the clinician.
• Describe how communication styles can differ across cultures. 
• Discuss ways to learn more about one another’s intersectional identities as a way to bridge the gap between various sexual styles.

Often, relationship therapy is a solution that can provide valuable advice for this relationship, or the next if you have to consciously complete (end) the relationship.
