What do you ask a family counselor?

Question

I have been w/ a gut for 5 yrs. We have 2 kids together & he has helped me raise my son. As of right now for the past 3 or 4 months we have lived apart. We are going to start conseling to try to work on our family. I want help thinking of good question or goals to say.

Answer 1

Well im glad you two are working things out :) That shows alot of courage and guts. Alot of people look for easy ways out, but at least your doing something about it. Im proud of you!

Well setting goals and asking questions are good.
Where do you see yourself in the years to come?

Answer 2

There is no magical questions to ask a counselor they are just as human as you are. What you and your partner must realized that you both have to be honest with the same goals. If you or your partner are not willing to do that then no amount counseling will help and you will be just wasting your money. But what really helped me is this question: Write down the history of the relationship. The good bad and the ugly! This will help you focus on the history and where you want the relationship to go. You should both do this it is very revealing Good Luck!!

Answer 3

Bab...it is not a play where you act, keep it real or you are wasting your time and money, keep it real.

Tell him or her exactly what is on your mind, YOUR mind. Think about his good points, bad points, and what the relationship means to you, then you will know what to say..

goood luck....I wish you well.
