Interesting discussion about the value of marriage counselling in early recovery. My husband has been in rehab for exactly a month now. He started Aug 28th and still has about another two months to go. We are scheduled to have our first two-on-one counselling session with a therapist at the rehab center on Friday, October 12. And then every Friday after that we will be participating in a partner program at the rehab center which consists of group counselling with other couples (where one partner of each couple is currently at the rehab center), seminars, and more two-on-one sessions.
Obviously, the experts at this rehab center do believe that couples counselling can be valuable during early recovery. Time will tell if they are right or if it is all a waste of time. But I have agreed to participate and am going into it with an open mind.
