If you’re tired of the same old dance, get ready to learn a few new steps—real steps—the ones that will make a difference in your life and the lives of those you love.
Discernment Counselling looks at the way you've been dancing and helps you see how you've been stepping on each others toes. You then get to decide if you want to start learning a new dance, or mutually agree to no longer dance with this partner.

Couples yearning for more closeness are truly in uncharted territory, because the vast majority of us come to our relationships with maladaptive communication patterns we learned as children. Without clarity into those patterns and how they've affected the marriage it can be nearly impossible to move forward when you're on the brink of divorce. Get the clarity you need to decide how to move forward with Discernment Counselling.

Imagine viewing your relationship as a biosphere - the environment you live in and depend upon. How would this perspective alter what you contribute and accept within it?
Consider what actions would nurture its growth and prosperity, for your own health.
Think about areas that might need tidying up and refining.
Would you allow existing elements to expand unchecked, or would you take steps to maintain balance?

Is Your Stormy Marriage Suddenly Calm? ⚠️
Your partner, who was on a journey of marital doubt, perhaps even mentioning divorce after weeks of heated arguments, has now strangely become calm. The persistent nagging and complaining have stopped, and it feels like the sky has cleared after a torrential storm. Despite the relief you feel, there’s a nagging sense that something is amiss. Your spouse, who has been unhappy for months or even years, is now suddenly okay? Nevertheless, you’re grateful that the storm has passed.

It’s common for someone who has firmly decided on divorce to stop trying, cease the battles and complaints. Mentally, they’re already moving on to a life without you.
Time is of the essence. Don’t be lulled into a false sense of reconciliation. Action is needed now.

Humans are hardwired to seek connection and build relationships. Shockingly, only a limited number of relationships involve individuals who are adept at practicing the essential relational skills needed to make each other feel loved and cared for. That’s the bad news. The upside, however, is that by acquiring just a few of these skills, you can significantly enhance the sense of connection with your partner—even if you’re still in the process of mastering those skills.

Traditional marriage counselling is great for when you are relatively clear about what you need to work on to make the marriage better. And when you both want to stay married but make it better. But those don't describe all couples.
Sometimes diving right into the details of how to make it work isn't that helpful, especially when one spouse is "leaning out" of the marriage. That's where discernment counselling comes in. It helps you get out of the nitty gritty and get that birds eye view of things with the help of a compassionate and neutral trained professional.
