When My Partner and I Enter into Couples Therapy, the Therapist

When my partner and I enter into couples therapy, the therapist wants to talk to both of us at the same time. We discuss issues that cause us to argue, but the therapist does not seem to help us resolve the issues. Instead, the therapist is likely to focus in on

A) situations in which arguments have become classically conditioned
B) problematic communication or interaction patterns that come out during these discussions
C) how we each have set aside personal fulfillment for the sake of the relationship
D) irrational expectations for happiness within relationships
