Traits of the Ideal Marriage Therapist

Article Category: Self Help

Author Name: Stehpan Madigan

Couples therapists are educated to guide a relationship through hard times. They are there to analyze psychological issues that may be affecting individuals within the relationship. They are there as mentors in marriage counselling, in order for the couple to work through these psychological issues.

Couple therapists are eduated specifically for this task. There are somehow more specialized than psychologists, psychiatrist and social workers because they are able to see issues and address them within the framework of a relationship. Thus, it was because of this specialization that marriage counselling came to be what we know of it today.

However, couples therapists are individuals too. Even in the context of counselling, they are still dealing with their own realities, belief systems and the like. This is largely why people come to like a therapist over another. It is natural for some of the therapist's personal to seep into couples counselling. What matters is how this is handled.

Here are some traits to look for in a marriage therapist:

1. The ability to really listen: This is actually a trait that's been taken for granted. Of course, therapists would know to listen, right? This is not necessarily so. Some people listen but they do not hear. If a marriage therapistleans towards being closed off to what you really want to say – regardless of how you try to say it – then maybe he is not the one to help you with your relationship problems. A good therapist will not just listen to your words. He would be intuitive enough to hear what you don't speak of, and what you communicate through your body language.

2. Openness: In couples counselling, it is not only the couple who needs to open up about themselves. The therapist should also be open and communicative when required to do so. Sometimes, people in therapy need to know that the one they're talking to understands them.

3. Open mind: This also pertains to identifying with the couple in therapy. An open mind puts individuals going through couples counselling in a safe zone, where they feel they can really say what's on their mind and not be judged for it. A therapist with an open mind will know to communicate this to his clients.

4. Patience: It is part of the marriage therapist's job to be there for his clients. However, understandably, it is not always easy. Therapists are individuals too and they can come to a point wherein they've had enough. Patience is a valued virtue among therapists. Time and again, they might get frustrated with all the bickering and conflict. They should be able to center themselves and not allow this to affect the marriage counselling.

5. Kindness: This comes in handy when dealing with sensitive topics, or with people who easily get hurt. Not everyone can take tough love, and it takes some kindness to be able to adjust to what the clients can handle. After all, therapy is about them.
