Is it too late for marriage counseling? Discernment Counseling for when your relationship is on the brink
Can marriage counseling fix our relationship?
When you first got together, you never thought you’d be here: on the brink of divorce or breaking up. This was never the plan. One of you wants desperately to stay in the relationship and the other one wants out.
You’ve talked about doing couples therapy, but you don’t know if it will even work! Is it too late for couples therapy to help? If you’re the one wanting out, what does it even look like to try to fix a relationship you’re not sure you want to be in!
Discernment Counseling: Couples counseling when you’re not sure you want to be in the relationship
Today we’re delving into something not a lot of people have heard of — discernment counseling. Discernment counseling is short-term (2-5 sessions) and focuses on helping you make important decisions about your relationship.
You can keep things as they are and make no changes.
You can end it now.
Or you can commit to a 6 month trial of couples therapy where you’ll work on fixing the problems in the relationship to see if it’s worth staying in.
Why Discernment Counseling in Murrieta, CA?
What makes discernment counseling stand out is its no-pressure approach. Unlike regular couples therapy that might assume both partners are all in for saving the relationship, discernment counseling gets that each of you might have different feelings about it. It’s all about respecting those differences and helping you gain insights into your individual hopes and concerns.
So, if you’re on the fence about whether to fix things up or part ways, this type of counseling could be just the thing you’re looking for. My video will spill all the beans on this unique approach and how it can really be a game-changer for couples on the brink.
