The Objections Regarding Marriage Counseling

By John Bryan

One of the hardest things to do is to seek help when your marriage is having problems. Marriage is something so private and intimate and this is probably due to that fact. But because it is so intimate there are many reasons to seek marriage counseling when you need help. Well in this article we are going to discuss some questions and issues that people have, concerning marriage counseling.

First of all, if you do go and get help, who does the marriage counseling?The people who will actually perform the counseling are definitely the people who have been licensed as Marriage and Family Therapists. They are trained very well to diagnose and treat mental and emotional issues. As a marriage therapist I was required to participate in two years of clinical experience. You can definitely trust they have experience since all therapists will have this requirement.

Another thing that crosses the mind is whether or not these people are really psychiatrists. Although they are not they do go through an extensive post graduate training. They could even go as high as a doctoral program with it.

So although they are basically not a psychiatrist, but the training and qualifications are usually very high. That is one thing I inform my clients of my family therapist practice. Proper training and professional schooling is absolutely required and done by all therapists.

Finally most people are concerned with the cost of a counseling session. When you think about how important a resolution is, cost should not be an issue though this is definitely an understandable concern. But generally most sessions will cost about $100. That is generally what one session in my marriage counseling practice goes for.

So hopefully these practical and kind answers will surely help you to feel confident in seeking help. You definitely want to do whatever you can to save your marriage when it is on the line. Seeking help from a qualified marriage counselor will be a step in the right direction you must take. - 29958
