Relationship Coaching by Phone
For those who prefer
to learn the basic relationship skills and knowledge that can help form and sustain a healthy marriage in the privacy
of their own home we have compiled a list of providers who deliver their services over the phone.
We
highly recommend you become an informed consumer before you sign up with one of these providers. Possible questions
you might ask include:
1.
What is your experience and training in providing this service?
2.
Is your approach based on research and can you supply me with the references for the research articles it is based
on?
3.
What is the total cost for sessions with you and how long does it last?
4.
What are the specific relationship skills and knowledge that you will teach me?
If you are looking for more of a therapy experience rather than a relationship education one we recommend that
you also ask the following five questions suggested by Bill Doherty in a presentation at the 1999 Smartmarriages
conference:
1. "Can you describe your background or training in marital therapy?" If the therapist is self-taught
or workshop-trained, and can't point to formal supervised training in this work, then consider going elsewhere.
2. "What is your attitude toward salvaging a troubled marriage versus helping couples break up?" If the
therapist says he or she is "neutral," or "I don't try to save marriage, I try to help people,"
look elsewhere.
3. "What is your approach when one partner is seriously considering ending the marriage and the other wants
to save it?" If the therapist responds by focusing only on helping each person clarify their personal feelings
and decisions, consider looking elsewhere.
4. "What percentage of your practice is marital therapy?" Avoid therapists who do mostly individual therapy.
5. "Of the couples you treat, what percentage would you say work out enough of their problems to stay married
with a reasonable amount of satisfaction?
If you offer a relationship
service by phone and would like for it to be listed please send us an email.
