1 day couples counselling?

[chilld]

One my issues is the amount of time DH can spare me. We really need some sort of counselling but I can see DH committing much time so I wondered if anyone has done counselling in 1 day?

So you're going to try and accommodate and enable his behaviour in an attempt to get him to change it? First, that's not going to work, and, second, counselling cannot be achieved in a single day, no. It requires commitment. If your husband won't do that, then maybe it's time to rethink your own commitment to him.

If he's not willing to commit 1 hour a week (or whatever it is), that shows you the level of his commitment to (improving) your relationship.

i think those one or two day intensive courses are usually for people who have an immediate crisis that needs attention and then will be followed up with regular counselling after, or for those who are doing a refresher on keeping their communication etc strong, not in place of needed on going counselling. it takes weeks for your counsellor to even really get to know you properly.

I run a 'how to communicate and improve your marriage' workshop. That's one day (10-4) - maybe something like that?

In couples counselling the gaps between sessions are really valuable (as in all counselling) as you need time to process the changes you want to make etc

Can spare you, are you not his equal, his partner, fuck that OP, no, counselling cannot help you in one day.

If he won't go into counselling, then why not consider going into individual therapy? That will make far more of a change, imo.
