Eheberatung

Eheberatung, also known as couples counseling or marital therapy, is a form of psychotherapy focused on improving relationships between partners. It aims to address and resolve conflicts, enhance communication, and foster a healthier dynamic within a marriage or long-term partnership. The process typically involves a trained therapist who acts as a neutral facilitator, guiding couples through discussions and helping them identify the root causes of their difficulties.

Common issues addressed in Eheberatung include communication breakdowns, infidelity, financial disagreements, intimacy problems, parenting conflicts, and differing life goals. The therapy can be short-term, focusing on specific issues, or longer-term, for more deeply entrenched problems. Techniques used may include active listening exercises, conflict resolution strategies, and exploring individual patterns of behavior that impact the relationship.

The goal of Eheberatung is not necessarily to save every relationship, but rather to help couples gain clarity about their situation, develop better coping mechanisms, and make informed decisions about their future, whether that involves continuing the relationship with improved understanding or separating amicably. It provides a safe and structured environment for partners to express their feelings and concerns without judgment.
