Understanding Couples Therapy
Core Traits of Healthy Couples and Ideas to explore in Couples Therapy
Differentiation of Self: Partners can think, feel, and act independently without losing their emotional bond or reacting defensively to each other's stress.
Low Emotional Fusion: Healthy partners avoid enmeshment, meaning they do not blur their boundaries or absorb each other's anxiety as a single mass.
Stable Dyadic Boundaries: The couple manages stress between themselves instead of drawing in a third person or externalizing tension via triangulation.
Family-of-Origin Awareness: Partners understand how past generational patterns influence their current reactions, allowing them to choose constructive behaviours over automatic habits
