Welcome to Real Connections Counseling, Iowa's COTHERAPY Company! CoTherapy? Yep, CoTherapy. We believe that people are meant for community.
Why build an entire counseling company around CoTherapy?
Traditional counseling systems with one counselor for one client serve a good purpose. But they get one thing wrong that Real Connections solves. Unity. Traditional methods encourage the couple to be about the couple, for the couple, because of the couple. Real Connections Counseling says, "You are part of a team." We weren't meant to be silos of people.
You see, traditional counseling systems help the couple be themselves. CoTherapy systems help them be themselves in community with others. We forget to teach and model that couples should lean into each other but can also lean into others. We all share a story. But it seems often that when people get together, their stories move away from many other people.
There is also the problem of bias. Many people like Monique and I have seen a therapist. Like many who find Real Connections Counseling, I went to counseling thinking we'd receive equal treatment. I ended up feeling like a third wheel and like the problem. All of a sudden I felt isolated. (more…)
