Usually, couples come to me to do marriage counseling after having given up on trying to mend their broken relationship. They come to family therapy, hoping that there is a quick fix for the years and years of misery that they have been suffering together.
Now they are stuck between a rock and a hard place, whereby it’s either professional help to fix the broken relationship or divorce.
Some couples are so exhausted from fighting to the extent that they approach me, assuming that their relationship is ruined for good and thinking that divorce life coaching is their only choice.
Is It Possible to Mend a Broken Relationship with Professional Help?
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and marriage counseling are incredibly successful in mending broken relationships. Statistics show that 90% of couples who seek EFT therapy witness a significant positive improvement in their relationship quality.
However, it takes two to tango. Several factors can make professional help successful in mending the broken relationship for a relationship to be fixed.
Factors to Help Mend a Broken Relationship Using Professional Help
- Both partners have to be open to the process of marriage counseling and willing to fix the relationship.
- Both partners have to bring their true authentic selves to the therapy and reveal any hidden matters that could be blocking the reconnection.
- Both partners have to understand that marriage counseling is a journey that requires time and determination. There is no quick fix when it comes to couples’ therapy.
- Both partners have to function from a place of curiosity in the process of marriage counseling and listen to understand the other side of the story.
Tips to Fix a Broken Relationship
- Be compassionate with your partner and try to understand his/her experience with the heartache.
- Be attentive to how your partner is feeling and show empathy.
- Validate your partner’s experience even if you disagree with it because this is key to mending a broken relationship.
- Remember the love that brought you together in the first place and acknowledge the good times as well as the unique positive qualities of your partner.
- Focus on the present moment meaning the here and now of the negative cycle between you—no need to dig into the past when you are highly escalated.
