Couples therapy can be a valuable step towards a healthier relationship, but it's crucial to avoid common mistakes that can limit its effectiveness. In this episode, we discuss three such pitfalls: 1) not being open to the big picture of the relationship, 2) having an urgency to complete the counseling process, and 3) over-reliance on the therapist to change the relationship. By addressing these issues, couples can make the most of their therapy experience.
