STAY OR GO COUNSELING
STAY OR GO COUNSELING
Stay or Go Counseling, also known as Discernment Counseling, is an approach for you as a couple if:
- One or both of you are questioning the commitment to stay married.
- One or both of you aren’t sure you have the motivation for full-on couples counseling to fix your problems.
- You are not expected to change right now, but instead to better understand what’s happened in the relationship and each partner’s contribution to the problems.
- Discernment Counseling is brief lasting from one to five sessions maximum, with a decision each session whether or not to meet again.
The goal is to increase clarity and confidence about one of three directions for your relationship:
- Commit to an all out effort in couples counseling to improve the relationship.
- End the relationship via separation/divorce with dignity.
- Stay the course and decide later. I welcome any questions you may have.
