Fleeing treatment is an understandable wish.  Effective Neurodynamic Couples Therapy is often frightening and painful–sometimes horribly painful.  Metabolizing historical feelings requires that they be relived precisely as intensely as they were originally experienced when first stored, along with the perceived sense of danger that was present in the original experience.  It makes sense to be scared of this process, so addressing the wish to flee should be seen as a normal part of the treatment.

There is no doubt that treating couples is often quite difficult.  This is a primary reason that many therapists decide to not treat couples at all.  In fact, statistics say that the rate of failure for couple therapy is higher than for individual therapy.
