In couple therapy practice there are problems and the relational problem.
Couples come to session talking about a topic they disagree about - household chores for example - and they think "household chores" are the problem.
But, the couple therapist knows the problem is not the household chores.
THE Problem is โถ what happens between them when they disagree about the household chores.
In fact, when they disagree about any topic โถ what happens between them - is the same.
What happens between them when they disagree โถ is THE Problem โ
The topic they disagree about - the household chores for example - is just a topic that perpetuates THE Problem.
