When your significant other is unwilling to come in for help for your relationship, it may be even more important for us to talk. By waiting for your partner to be ready, you are placing the future of your relationship in their hands alone. As a family systems therapist, I believe that that when only one person comes to therapy, a small change in that person can impact the couples relationship. If you are sincere about wanting the best possible chance to rescue your relationship, there are some steps you can take to insure a positive outcome.

HERE IS WHAT I CAN TEACH YOU EVEN IF YOUR PARTNER DOES NOT COME IN FOR PSYCHOTHERAPY:

1. How to influence your partner in a positive way when you talk with him/her.

2. How to better understand the negative cycles in your relational dynamic even if your partner will not speak to you.

3. Learn how to deal with your partner more effectively when they “stonewall” and won’t speak to you.

4. Get support in a challenging situation by learning how to hold on to yourself and manage yourself more effectively in trying situations.

5. How to better support your children in a home that is marked by conflict.

6. Learn new strategies to handle specific and difficult situations like a partner’s distancing from you by putting up walls, infidelity, anger, addiction, alcoholism, internet addiction, or in-law problems.

IF YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS SUFFERING, DO NOT WAIT FOR YOUR PARTNER TO AGREE TO COME TO COUNSELING!

While you are waiting for them to come to therapy, things may worsen and rebuilding your relationship will only become more difficult.

As you learn to deal more effectively when your partner won’t join in the therapy effort, there are two things that often occur:

First, many partners notice change and they respond to it positively. They then become more willing to communicate.
Secondly, your partner may become less defensive and/or critical, because they observe the positive difference that counseling has provided. At this point, they may be willing to join you in couples counseling.
