CAN COUPLES PARTICIPATE IN THE SAME ER GROUP?
Yes. In fact, couples have been transformed and marriages saved for some couples when both partners participated in ER. Couple therapy as such is not conducted. However, many issues that show up as relationship problems have their origins in earlier individual experiences, in childhood or in prior adult relationships. When both partners Work in ER, the individual issues (such as fear of intimacy or distrust of the opposite sex) can be untangled from the relationship, which becomes less complex, cyclic, and “loaded.” The search for who’s to blame for the marriage problems often becomes irrelevant. Thus ER can remove the debris of personal “unfinished business”, enabling more mature mutual perception and conversation, and clearing the way for adult love.
