There are a lot of counseling models for couples ranging from Gottman (behavior focused) to EFT (emotionally focused) and PACT (in the moment focused). While they all have something to offer, they take a lot of time to see changes and have a much more passive style. The therapist is a guide and is learning as you do. In RTM, I am much more direct and use my role as more of a teacher and coach than a passive passenger. Every session will have ah-ha moments, new information, practice, modeling and reps. You will never leave a session feeling like you didn’t get anything out of it.
We are looking for deep change, not cheap change.
