These can include a separation from a partner, career changes, a serious illness or the transition to a new phase of life. Ideally, an adjustment reaction restores inner balance.<\/p>\n

Every relationship between two people is unique, which means no couple\u2019s relationship is the same as another. That’s why difficulties that can arise within a relationship are just as individual as well. Common reasons for seeking couples counseling may include:<\/p>\n
\n- A lack of sense of togetherness<\/li>\n
- Lack of trust in the partner<\/li>\n
- Stressful changes in work life or daily routines<\/li>\n
- Challenges in the shared sexual relationship<\/li>\n
- Infidelity by one or both partners<\/li>\n
- Increased arguing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
When a relationship is struggling, communication between partners often becomes difficult. Those involved then face the major challenge of addressing their feelings, desires and any doubts they may have. Couples therapy or counseling can act as a mediator and help prevent misunderstandings and accusations. During the counseling process, entrenched communication and behavior patterns can be broken, helping you move toward a happy partnership again. Other goals of couples counseling include:<\/p>\n
\n- Creating an understanding of how stressful situations can arise<\/li>\n
- Learning to deal with conflicts appropriately<\/li>\n
- Becoming aware of your own desires and communicating them<\/li>\n
- Recognizing your partner\u2019s wishes<\/li>\n
- Avoiding misunderstandings and accusations<\/li>\n
- Being able to communicate fears and expectations within the relationship<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>We are happy to answer your questions and advise you over telephone<\/div><\/div>Call us<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
To rebuild a loving partnership where both partners feel comfortable in the relationship, open and committed participation in couples counseling is essential. The couples therapists at Paartherapie K\u00f6ln in the MVZ often encounter situations where only one partner wants counseling and the other declines. If this is the case, the current situation can first be discussed in an individual session with the therapist. There can be various reasons for rejecting couples counseling, such as fear of blame. Despite possible concerns, it is still advisable to attend an initial, non-binding session with the therapist, where any reservations can also be addressed. Ultimately, the long-term cooperation of both partners is required to successfully achieve the shared goal of a happy relationship.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Family therapy tries to find the roots of problematic symptoms within the social environment of the affected person and therefore does not take place in individual sessions but in a family setting.<\/p>\n
The reason for this is that research has shown therapy can be more effective when family members and close relatives are involved. Unfortunately, family therapy is still used very rarely, as it is often considered complicated and time-consuming. However, current studies show that the additional effort pays off when the social system is included.<\/p>\n
Family therapy is formally classified within the systemic therapy school. In 2008, the Scientific Advisory Board for Psychotherapy officially recognized this approach as scientifically valid. However, it is not yet considered a guideline therapy and is therefore not covered by health insurance. Despite this, systemic and family therapy is an effective, evidence-based method with a wide range of applications and interventions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Costs and Process of Family Therapy<\/h2><\/div>\n- Cost of an initial 90-minute session: \u20ac195 (excl. VAT)<\/em><\/li>\n
- Cost of each additional 90-minute session: \u20ac215 (excl. VAT)<\/em><\/li>\n
- Recommended duration: determined individually<\/em><\/li>\n
- The initial session is intended to get to know your family history and daily life. Key topics are identified to be addressed in follow-up sessions. The schedule and further appointments are discussed during this session.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
The basic assumption of systemic therapy is that a person never exists in isolation but must always be viewed as part of a whole. Systemic therapists therefore reject the idea that a single family member alone causes a problem. The so-called \u201csymptom bearer\u201d is not the actual problem; rather, their symptoms reflect that the family system is out of balance. This dysfunctional state may be more noticeable to some members than others.<\/p>\n
During the therapy process, the therapist guides the members of the system out of this state through exercises and questioning techniques. The relationships within the family and the roles distributed in the system are analyzed. During the therapeutic process it is known: The moment one member in the system changes their behavior, the entire system begins to shift. The therapist supports the family in questioning entrenched perspectives and problematic behaviors, finding new viewpoints and developing more satisfying ways of living together.<\/p>\n
The overarching goal of the therapy process is to create a new balance within the system through these changes, positively affecting all family members. Throughout this process, the family therapist emphasizes providing all members with an unbiased perspective, respect and appreciation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Family Therapy?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
If you have any questions, feel free to call us<\/a><\/strong> or send us an email<\/a><\/strong>. We will be happy to advise you in a free initial consultation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Family therapy strongly focuses on solutions and emphasizes the resources and strengths of all participants. This often allows significant changes to be achieved in a short period of time. Additionally, the systemic therapy approach is very sustainable due to its principle of \u201chelp for self-help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Family therapy is indicated in many cases: when a family member is suffering from a psychological disorder or physical illness or during difficult life situations such as marital problems, parental divorce, the loss of a family member or transitional phases like moving, changing schools or the conflict-prone period of adolescence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

However, current studies show that the additional effort pays off when the social system is included.<\/p>\n Family therapy is formally classified within the systemic therapy school. In 2008, the Scientific Advisory Board for Psychotherapy officially recognized this approach as scientifically valid. However, it is not yet considered a guideline therapy and is therefore not covered by health insurance. Despite this, systemic and family therapy is an effective, evidence-based method with a wide range of applications and interventions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> The basic assumption of systemic therapy is that a person never exists in isolation but must always be viewed as part of a whole. Systemic therapists therefore reject the idea that a single family member alone causes a problem. The so-called \u201csymptom bearer\u201d is not the actual problem; rather, their symptoms reflect that the family system is out of balance. This dysfunctional state may be more noticeable to some members than others.<\/p>\n During the therapy process, the therapist guides the members of the system out of this state through exercises and questioning techniques. The relationships within the family and the roles distributed in the system are analyzed. During the therapeutic process it is known: The moment one member in the system changes their behavior, the entire system begins to shift. The therapist supports the family in questioning entrenched perspectives and problematic behaviors, finding new viewpoints and developing more satisfying ways of living together.<\/p>\n The overarching goal of the therapy process is to create a new balance within the system through these changes, positively affecting all family members. Throughout this process, the family therapist emphasizes providing all members with an unbiased perspective, respect and appreciation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Do you have questions about<\/p>\n<\/div> Family Therapy?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> If you have any questions, feel free to call us<\/a><\/strong> or send us an email<\/a><\/strong>.

This often allows significant changes to be achieved in a short period of time. Additionally, the systemic therapy approach is very sustainable due to its principle of \u201chelp for self-help.\u201d<\/p>\n Family therapy is indicated in many cases: when a family member is suffering from a psychological disorder or physical illness or during difficult life situations such as marital problems, parental divorce, the loss of a family member or transitional phases like moving, changing schools or the conflict-prone period of adolescence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Homework turns into arguments, mornings start with stress, and the smallest request can feel like a battle. Yet in between, there are those moments of laughter and closeness that show how much connection is still there.<\/p>\n<\/div> A new partner moves in, children suddenly share rooms, and old routines no longer fit. What once felt familiar has to be renegotiated, while everyone wonders where their place in the new family really is.<\/p>\n<\/div>Current information<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>
