How to Prepare for Individual Therapy

While optional, you can use one or more of these to help narrow down the issues you are facing.

Daily Mood Monitor – Used to keep track of fluctuations in your depression.
Emotional Word List – Useful if you are having difficulties identifying your feelings.
The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire – Measure your baseline happiness level.
The Attachment Questionnaire – Understand how you connect with other people.
Self-Care Assessment Worksheet – How balanced is your life?

How to Prepare for Couple’s Counseling

Please watch the following short videos together before your first couple’s session. These brief videos will significantly help both of you to more accurately describe what is not working in your relationship and to help identify what saves a relationship versus destroys it.

Gottman Video #1 : What does research say about relationship satisfaction?
Gottman Video #2: What guarantees a failed relationship?
Gottman Video #3: What helps to improve a relationship the most?
Gottman Video #4: Miscellaneous questions & answers

Additionally: Both of you should read what I consider to be one of the best descriptions of Gottman Method Couples Therapy. This will help you more accurately grasp what helps a relationship function versus what guarantees that it will implode into disaster.

Hint: If you suspect that you have a difficult partner that won’t “grow up”, you should probably also take the Peter Pan Syndrome questionnaire.

Coaching vs. Therapy

I work with both therapy and coaching clients across the globe. The feedback I’ve received from my clients is that by far, they prefer coaching over therapy. Coaching is more direct rather than the “how does this make you feel” bit that tends to be associated with counseling. It excels at helping people overcome roadblocks that prevent them from fully living their life.

The big difference between coaching and therapy is in how we approach problems. In therapy, we might deal with a fear of being judged by others by examining what led you to that point, discussing your underlying hidden feelings and attempt to change how you view this fear. With coaching, we would tackle the fear of being judged by looking at how your fear of being judged is impacting your life, identifying what change would look like, and developing specific strategies to tackle and overcome this fear.
