The Role of Couples Therapy Raleigh NC in Healing
In my in-office and online therapy North Carolina, I frequently encounter couples in Marriage Counseling Raleigh NC where one partner has experienced sexual trauma. The partner who experienced sexual trauma often wonders whether they should seek individual therapy for their trauma.
Here's where my perspective might differ from other professionals in my field.
I believe in the profound healing power of working through sexual trauma together as a couple because a partner who is there, present and holding space for their hurt partner can be an invaluable ally in this journey of healing. Having a supportive partner by their side while healing sexual trauma fosters a deeper and more healing connection than what might be achieved in a traditional therapist-client dynamic. This approach to healing one partner’s sexual trauma in couples therapy Marriage Counseling Raleigh NC not only accelerates the healing process but also enriches the couples emotional bond.
The concept that the partner who experienced trauma needs to "fix" themselves in isolation before returning to the relationship is not only pathologizing but overlooks the potential for joint healing.
Two partners have an amazingly better and stronger attachment relationship than I do as a therapist with a client. So, the healing process can be shorter and more profound when your most important person is there for you to support you on your path to recovery.
