Therapy Brothers Discussion: Brannon and Tyler process some of the obstacles they're facing in doing therapy with their clients.

"I'm a therapist, and I've been working with a lot of couples lately. I've seen a lot of success when both people in the couple are working hard on their individual recoveries. But lately, I've been running into a sticking point with some of my couples. I see one person working really hard on their recovery, and the other person appears to be working hard too. But for some reason, the marriage isn't getting any better. I'm puzzled by this. I'm not sure what the answer is. But I think it might have something to do with values. Maybe the couple is incompatible in some ways?"

"The truth is, if all of us had to wait until we were perfect to help somebody else, nothing would ever get done."

In This Episode:

1. What may happen when both people in a couple are working hard on their individual recoveries, but the relationship itself is not improving?

2. How can therapists help couples negotiate their differences in values?

3. What is the role of the therapist's own values in working with clients?
