Have you had couples counselling?
Answered 4 years ago
If so, what is your experience? My husband and i are due for our first session in about 4 weeks, and im not sure how i feel about it (although, i feel we are at the point where we MUST do it)
Basically he is a terrible human (lol - have to laugh, only way to survive) who has done terrible things to me, our kids and himself, (nothing violent) despite this i love him deeply and always have and i have no doubt he feels the same way about me and always will.
Do you meet with the counsellor individually to begin with? Or together from the start?
Please tell me the good and bad of your experiences.
Thanks :)

You both go in. Tell them your story have a cry and that's the first session
second session will be exploring some of the issues in more detail and probably more crying.
All other sessions will be working on things you discuss and putting strategies in place to overcome your issues.
If you need counselling on your own then I'd suggest going to see someone else in tandem with the relationship counselling.
Good Luck. Hope the marriage thrives with some insight for both parties and I hope you're both commited to the process. It's not going to work if you're half hearted about it

Waste of time for us, he lied the whole way thru our sessions (found out months later)
Unless you are both going to be completely honest and raw I wouldn't bother
