What Should You Avoid During Couples Therapy?
During couples therapy, you and your partner may be asked to list off every problem and negative aspects of your relationship. However, do not focus on these areas because they would actually prevent you from making positive changes. How you communicate may bring a negative or positive effect on the effectiveness of the therapy. During a session, avoid bad behaviors, such as cursing, yelling, threatening others, leaving before the end, or staying silent the whole time. It is normal to have some emotional reactions. However, try to calm down and do everything in positive ways. [9]
