Couples therapy can be some of the most rewarding work we do as therapists, but it can also be one of the most challenging.
Many couples don’t reach out for help until things feel like they’re falling apart. By the time they sit down in your office, there are often years of resentment, hurt, and miscommunication built up beneath the surface.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Wyatt Fisher, a psychologist and couples therapist who has spent years refining his approach to helping couples work through those deeper issues. Wyatt shares how his own personal and professional experiences shaped his work with couples and why he eventually moved away from the traditional weekly therapy model.
We talk about the power of marriage intensives, how addressing resentments first can change the entire course of therapy, and some of the practical tools he uses to help couples rebuild connection and accountability. Wyatt also shares how he’s structured his practice to include intensives, coaching, classes, and conferences to create a more comprehensive model for helping couples.
If you work with couples or have ever wondered how to structure therapy so couples can make real progress faster, I think you’ll find this conversation really interesting.
