Short-Term Couples Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a good option for couples who don’t have a lot of time but want to strengthen their relationship. It is a short-term type of therapy that works on a couple’s attachment to one another. Attachment theory is useful in exploring why we relate and interact with people the way that we do. You can expect to complete couples therapy within 8-20 sessions.

Building Empathy and Understanding
Imago Therapy is a great option for couples with repeated arguments. It focuses on building understanding and empathy between couples. For example, Imago Therapy will help you understand why your partner responds so defensively when you ask them to do something. The core belief behind Imago Therapy is that our early relationships shape our current relationships. Your relationship with your parents will influence how you act around your partner. Understanding these dynamics is important in developing healthy conflict resolution skills.

Recognizing Unhelpful Thought Patterns
Regardless of what therapy modality your Toms River couples therapist uses, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) will likely be a part of it. CBT teaches us how to recognize unhealthy, negative thought patterns. For example, “They asked me to do something, so I must be doing something wrong.” From there, CBT will help you replace that negative thought pattern with something positive and true.
