I can offer some general insights on this topic.
In couples' therapy, the ideal scenario is that both partners are willing to attend the sessions together to work on the issues within the relationship collaboratively. This joint participation allows the therapist to observe the dynamics between the partners, understand each person's perspective, and facilitate communication and problem-solving.
However, there might be situations where one partner is hesitant or declines to attend couples' therapy. In such cases, you can still seek individual therapy for yourself to explore your feelings, concerns, and any personal issues that may be affecting the relationship. Individual therapy can provide you with support, coping strategies, and insights into your own behavior and emotions.
While individual therapy can be beneficial for personal growth and self-awareness, it may not directly address the relationship issues that require both partners' involvement to resolve. If your partner is unwilling to attend couples' therapy, it can be challenging to address the relational dynamics fully. In such cases, it's essential to discuss your concerns and desire for couples' therapy with your partner openly and honestly.
Remember that therapy is a collaborative process, and both partners must be willing to participate actively for couples' therapy to be most effective. If your partner remains unwilling to attend, you can still benefit from individual therapy to gain insights and skills that might help you navigate the relationship more effectively, but addressing the relationship issues directly may require both partners' commitment to the process.
