What if only one of you wants to keep working on the relationship?

Maybe you’re eager to start couples therapy but your partner isn’t. You may feel confused, frustrated and worried about what comes next. How can you move forward if your partner isn’t sure they want to?

Clarity Coaching (also known as Discernment Counselling) could be right for you. It’s for couples in which one person wants to work on the relationship and the other person is not sure they do, or even if they want to stay together.

what Clarity Coaching offers:

• conversations with a therapist both together and individually

• a deeper understanding of how your relationship got to this point

• greater awareness of each person’s contributions to the problems

• more clarity and confidence in your decisions regarding the future of the relationship

• space to decide on one of 3 paths: maintain status quo, separate or commit to 6 months of couples therapy

 what Clarity Coaching does not offer:

• counselling (think of it as “pre” couples therapy)

• long term support (it’s a maximum of 5 sessions of 1.5 hours each)

• relationship skills or homework (don’t expect the relationship to change at this time)

Many people who have done Discernment Counselling (Clarity Coaching) report they are much more comfortable with their decisions going forward. That’s because all the cards have been put on the table, so to speak, and they have gained a much better understanding of how things went wrong and whether things can be fixed.

It’s worth it to figure out if you can still make it work. Studies have found that up to 50% of people who get divorced later wish they had tried harder to avoid divorce. Another study found that in 75% of couples, at least one partner had regrets about divorce one year after it happened.
