What Therapy Does for Relationships

How individual therapy affects romantic relationships and what the research shows

The Research

The research on how individual therapy affects romantic relationships is less developed than the research on couples therapy specifically, but the available evidence suggests that the individuals who engage in effective individual therapy show improved relationship functioning as a secondary outcome of the primary therapeutic work. The mechanism is the specific improvement in emotional regulation, self-awareness, and the attachment pattern modification that effective therapy produces.

The Attachment Change

The attachment pattern change: the research on earned security -- the process through which insecure attachment patterns move toward security through the corrective emotional experiences that therapy and healthy relationships provide -- is the specific mechanism through which individual therapy produces relationship improvement. The therapeutic relationship itself is the corrective emotional experience that the earned security research identifies as the primary mechanism of change.
