6 Results Couples Can Expect From Counselling

Dr. Michael Dadson reviews what a couple can expect when they get counselling.

There is no quick or instant fix in couples counselling. It takes time to unravel the emotional patterns that can cause us to feel stuck and hopeless in a relationship. 

It is not uncommon for couples to have several sessions. However, Dr. Dadson indicates:

When there are deeper issues of trust, anger management or trauma, months of therapy is not uncommon until a couple will start to experience significant changes or improvements in a relationship. However, with commitment from both partners, research has proven that couples counseling or couples therapy can lead to long- term positive changes in a relationship.

Dr. Dadson relates:

“Depending on the issues you face as a couple, your goals 

as a couple and your progress rate, will all vary the results 

you can expect to see in couples counseling.”

Signs it is Time to Physically Leave Your Relationship

Dr. Michael Dason advises:

Counselling can help in the worst situations in life and if there is violence in the home there is help. Counsellors do need to take action but only by the threat of immediate death, the immediate risk of a child’s well-being and by court orders imposed by judges with legal grounds. 

There is a pattern of violence toward you or your children.

Your children are being sexually abused.

There is regular verbal abuse and shaming of you or your children.

There have been threats made to your life or your children.

You or your children have been traumatised by your partner and your partner will not seek help

3 Critical Reasons Why Counselling is Helpful

1. Overcoming Self-Destructing Behaviours:

Abuse of alcohol It is not uncommon for those struggling to cope with depression, stress, anxiety, or trauma. A Registered ClinicalCounsellor in BC can help you to learn techniques and strategies to mitigate your risk of substance abuse and control or eliminate self- destructive behaviour.

 2.  Managing Your Emotions (self-regulation) and Overcoming Anger Issues:

Old triggers can arise when various issues arise in your life. When there are old wounds, a history of dysfunction, abuse, neglect or trauma from your childhood self-regulation can be extremely difficult. 

Counsellingcan give you tools and coping strategies to understand and manage these emotions in a positive way especially when you have difficulty controlling your anger, anxiety, or frequently feel depressed.

 3. Reduce Your Physical Health Risks.

Depression,anxiety, stress, or trauma can be a fundamental reason you are experiencing difficulty or even impossible to manage day-to-day relationships. 

Research has proven these common mental health issues can seriously impact your physical health and your ability to function in your day-to-day life and impair relationships throughout your life.        

In therapy, Dr. Dadson will work to get at the core of your beliefs, thinking, and feelings that can involve low self-worth, or the feeling of sadness, or even self-hatred.
