First Marriage Counseling Session

Well, H and I start marriage counseling today.  Our first session is today at 4pm.  I don't know why exactly but I'm kind of nervous about this.  I've never been to counseling before and I don't know what to expect from the session or from H.

 

How does a 1st counseling session typically go?

Re: First Marriage Counseling Session

  • We only did premarital counseling, so I don't really know a lot. But being honest with ourselves and each other about what we wanted/expected from our relationship, helped us figure out what we needed to talk about.  Even if you think it might hurt his feelings to hear something, you need to say it, because no one can fix something they don't know is broken. And if something stays broken long enough it can cause problems, in things that used to be okay.

    Good Luck.  I hope everything works out for you.

Good luck!

  • Well, we had our first session last night and it was more of a meet and greet than anything.  We went over our personal family histories and only briefly touched on how we are feeling right now.  We have weekly appointments set up for the next 4 weeks so we'll see how it goes...
