Module Notes
Discernment counseling is a specialized form of counseling designed to help couples who are considering divorce gain clarity and insight into their relationship. Here's everything you need to know about discernment counseling:
Purpose: to assist couples in making a thoughtful and informed decision about the future of their relationship.
Process: Discernment counseling typically involves a series of sessions with a trained therapist, either individually with each spouse or together as a couple.
Neutral and Non-Biased: The therapist in discernment counseling serves as a neutral and non-biased third party, providing a safe and supportive environment for couples to explore their feelings, concerns, and aspirations.
Exploration of Options: Discernment counseling encourages couples to explore all available options for their relationship, including reconciliation, separation, or divorce.
Limited Duration: Discernment counseling is typically short-term and time-limited, consisting of a few sessions spread out over several weeks.
Not Marriage Counseling: It's important to note that discernment counseling is distinct from traditional marriage counseling or therapy.
Confidentiality and Privacy: Like any form of counseling, discernment counseling is conducted with strict confidentiality and privacy.
By providing a neutral and supportive space for exploration and reflection, discernment counseling empowers couples to gain clarity, insight, and confidence in making a decision that is best for their individual and collective well-being.
