Do counselors work??

Question

I have been with my boyfriend for coming on a year. A few weeks ago I decided that we fight way to much and that he should move out...so he did. He wants me to go see a counselor with him. What are some experinces??? Good or bad

Answer 1

They work, they just might not work in favor of the relationship. You gave a year to the relationship what's a few sessions going to hurt, you may find something out about yourself that you didn't realize. Good luck.

Answer 2

Well I went to see a counselor and she did help a little.
but I've never seen a counselor about a relationship
But if you really wont to try to save this relationship you might want to give it a try.
Best luck

Answer 3

I have been to a counselor and they work, IF you are willing to do the work. You can't go to your appointments, tell the counselor what he/she wants to hear, and never make any changes to yourself. Being in therapy is hard work.....good luck!

Answer 4

Yes, go with your boyfriend if your relationship is important to you. Counseling worked for me personally, but my husband refused to go because he said it was all my problem. I did the right thing and recovered from depression and learned a lot about myself. He went with me once after I'd been working on just me for almost two years (it was all my problem anyway, right?). I realized I had far outstripped him emotionally and that I was not willing to listen to his bitching and moaning; he didn't come to listen to my pain now did he? By the way...yes, counseling works.

Answer 5

I have worked with a counslor and I think it helps. it can be painful but it brings someone elses perspective into play . Although if you have been together a year and fight a lot I would suggest making sure you really are right for eachother.

Answer 6

Only if both parties are open and honest about the issues. If you are not going to do that or your partner is not willing to do that then its a waste of money and time.
