Myths About Couples Therapy

Myths About Couples Therapy

Thinking about couples therapy but not sure it’s for you? You’re not alone. Many couples hesitate because of common myths ideas that can keep a healthy relationship from getting even stronger. At Journey Wellness Center in Dubai, therapy is offered in a safe, confidential, and supportive space, tailored to your needs and goals.

Myth 1: “Couples therapy is only for relationships in trouble.”

Reality: Therapy isn’t just for crisis. Partners often come to improve communication, deepen connection, or navigate life transitions not only to resolve conflict. Journey’s content and services describe couples therapy as a growth-focused, non-judgmental process that helps you understand patterns and strengthen your bond.

Myth 2: “If we need therapy, something is wrong with us.”

Reality: Seeking help is a healthy, proactive choice. The center positions therapy as support through life’s challenges and personal growth without judgment. You’ll work with a therapist in a setting designed for privacy, respect, and wellbeing.

Myth 3: “The therapist will take sides.”

Reality: Your therapist’s role is to support the relationship, not one partner over the other. Sessions focus on balanced understanding, fair communication, and shared goals in a confidential environment so both of you feel heard.

Myth 4: “Therapy is a last resort.”

Reality: Sooner is better. Many couples begin therapy before issues escalate, using it to build skills that prevent small frictions from becoming bigger problems. Journey’s articles speak to couples therapy as a proactive step toward deeper connection and mutual growth at any stage.

Myth 5: “A stranger won’t understand our background.”

Reality: Dubai is diverse, and Journey’s team brings multicultural experience to help clients feel seen and supported. For example, founder and Clinical Director Resha Erheim works with English- and Arabic-speaking clients and brings international experience to her practice.

Myth 6: “Therapy will dwell on the past instead of helping now.”

Reality: Insight is useful only if it helps you move forward. Journey’s approach emphasizes a supportive, tailored process linking what you’ve experienced to practical tools for better communication, boundaries, and reconnection today.
