If you’re feeling BETRAYED by your husband or wife & you feel like you can’t TRUST.

It’s not easy to find a therapist, much less a couples therapist! That’s due to so many factors!
In this episode, we talk about How to Find the Right Couples Therapist in 3 ways so that you can be sure that the effort you make towards getting real marriage help will actually work for you.
Step 1: Research to Find Experienced, License Couples Therapy Experts
Don’t just look for the therapist that is closest to your zip code and is covered by your insurance! Make sure the therapist actually specializes in working with couples and has advanced training in a couples therapeutic modality. Believe it or not, many therapists work with couples and have no advanced certification to do so!
Step 2: Interview Them
Talk with them, research their training in couples therapy (hint: it should be more than one marriage and family class!) and make sure you resonate with them
Step 3: Explore Alternatives to Weekly Marriage Counseling Sessions
Explore alternatives to couples therapy- a marriage intensive, couples workshop, couples therapy retreat – a short, finite amount of time that is an intervention of sorts can sometimes be much more effective than going to counseling for months on end once a week.


3 Ways to Find the Right Marriage Counselor for You

Intensive marriage retreats are the fastest way to achieve clarity on your situation and to know if your marriage is salvageable.
Let’s face it- weekly marriage counseling can “stretch” out for months sometimes even years.
You don’t have that amount of time to wait for answers!
Plus, if your spouse is hesitant to working on the marriage, then getting them into one marriage counseling session that may not go well will turn them away from getting help ever again.
Consider an intensive marriage retreat instead of weekly counseling sessions.
It’s like an intervention or an immersive experience of sorts.

How to rebuild trust in a relationship after betrayal

What if my spouse won’t come to counseling? Whether it’s due to previous failed attempts or your partner is just not interested in working on things in counseling, it’s a challenge to work on a relationship with a partner that is not interested.
Try these 4 ways to get your spouse on board with you to get some professional marriage help.
The four steps include:

* Not making ultimatums – no begging, threatening, etc
* Trying the route of Co-parenting, closure, and possibly conscious uncoupling
* Working on your own stuff
* Trying the 180

All of which we’ve seen work at various stages with different couples. Definitely worth trying!
