These issues may arise for various reasons: living together, children, lack of communication, difficulty expressing feelings, arguments, etc. In these cases, it is advisable to seek therapy when there is discomfort that you don\u2019t know how to manage, or when you\u2019ve tried to solve it on your own and it hasn\u2019t worked.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1761674258233\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question titulo-faqs\">How does couples therapy work?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer fondo-faqs\">\n\n<p>Couples therapy focuses on the dysfunctional relationship patterns between the two partners.<br \/>To identify and contextualize the issues affecting the relationship, it is important to carry out a thorough assessment of both partners individually, as well as of the relationship itself, in order to plan the most appropriate treatment.<br \/>It\u2019s important to understand that couples therapy aims to help each partner feel better about themselves, and subsequently, to work together to resolve their conflicts. However, it\u2019s also important to acknowledge that, although couples therapy initially aims to solve relationship problems, sometimes it may lead to the realization that separation is the healthiest option. This can be surprising, but we must remember that the ultimate goal is for both individuals to feel as well as possible\u2014even if that means being apart. Therefore, the purpose is not only to fix problems but also to explore the possibility of separating amicably.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1761674408360\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question titulo-faqs\">What happens during couples therapy?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer fondo-faqs\">\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, the first step involves assessing both partners and their interaction patterns. It\u2019s important to understand what conflicts exist, what causes them, how they are maintained, and why. Sometimes, either before or alongside couples therapy, individual work may be done on personal aspects that could be interfering with the relationship.<br \/>After this, tools and strategies are provided to help resolve the conflicts\u2014such as improving communication, fostering empathy, changing thought patterns, and developing self-control, among others. Once the treatment begins, it\u2019s important to recognize that it takes time to learn and apply these new skills. The therapist will monitor the process until improvement is achieved and the goals are met, at which point therapy will come to an end.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1761674561737\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question titulo-faqs\">How many couples therapy sessions do I need?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer fondo-faqs\">\n\n<p>The number of sessions required depends on several factors: the nature of the conflict, how long it has been present, the level of commitment of both partners, and the goals to be achieved.<br \/>Generally, the first sessions focus on understanding the couple\u2019s history, current difficulties, and individual needs. From there, a tailored intervention plan is created.<br \/>Some couples notice significant changes after just a few sessions, while others may need a longer process to consolidate progress. What matters most is not the number of sessions, but the level of commitment and engagement with the process.<br \/>The ultimate goal is for both partners to feel better about themselves and their relationship, gaining tools to communicate and resolve differences in a healthier way.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1761674634344\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question titulo-faqs\">What if one partner doesn\u2019t want to go to therapy?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer fondo-faqs\">\n\n<p>Sometimes, one partner may not wish to attend therapy. In these cases, it\u2019s possible to work individually with the person who is willing to attend. The focus will be on personal aspects that may be affecting the relationship, such as decision-making, anxiety levels, and other related issues.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1761675334961\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question titulo-faqs\">How much does a couples therapy session cost in Mallorca?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer fondo-faqs\">\n\n<p>At the\u00a0<em>Instituto de Psicolog\u00eda \u2013 Sexolog\u00eda Mallorca<\/em>, we offer the first in-person information session free of charge. Each subsequent session costs \u20ac70 and lasts approximately one hour.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1761676812296\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question titulo-faqs\">Does couples therapy work?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer fondo-faqs\">\n\n<p>The prognosis for therapy is positive if both partners understand the process they are beginning, are motivated, and follow through with the tasks and recommendations\u2014in other words, if they are committed to the treatment. However, the prognosis is not as good when couples come to therapy as a last resort, on the verge of breaking up, and without sufficient motivation or involvement. Therefore, the chances of success are higher if the couple seeks therapy before reaching an advanced stage of emotional exhaustion.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1761824897492\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question titulo-faqs\">Is couples therapy helpful for low sexual desire?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer fondo-faqs\">\n\n<p>Couples therapy can be very helpful when low sexual desire is related to difficulties within the relationship. Often, desire is affected by communication issues, unresolved conflicts, routine, or emotional distance between partners. In these cases, working together in therapy helps to rebuild connection, trust, and intimacy, which can support the recovery of sexual desire.<br \/>However, when the main cause is more individual \u2014such as stress, depression, hormonal changes, or the side effects of certain medical treatments\u2014 it may be more appropriate to address the issue through individual or sex therapy.<br \/>The therapist\u2019s role is to help identify the main cause and guide each person or couple toward the most suitable approach for their situation.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It consists of psychological care for couples who go through difficult times and do not know how to
