First appointment is usually a “getting to know your relationship” appointment. You will just explain your problems and talk with each other to see if you can benefit from the counseling sesisons.
it no big thing. its just so you can see if there are any problems that need working out before hand
during the first session you just talk to the counselor and tell them what the problem is and why you are there. and what you hope to get out of the sessions.
First, excellent choice to go for counseling (I am not saying that just because I am a counselor) and that is great that your husband has agreed.
It can be slightly scary when we think about going for counseling, for the first time. Every counselor is different, but here is what to generally expect:
The first session will be paper work and setting some expectations. The counselor will then ask, “So…tell me why you are here,” or something like that. Whoever wants to start can and when one has said enough the counselor will ask or talk with the other. The counselor will probably suggest you do some homework and/or get a book to cover together.
Counseling should mainly help both of you reconnect and relearn how to work with tools that foster communication and reconnection. You can say as much or as little as you wish, but the more honest you both are, the better.
Keep in mind that being comfortable with your counselor is important, so if you do not mesh with him/her, you are more than encouraged to let him/her know and go to another. When you call the counselor you can definitely ask him/her what to expect before you even go in. They should give you a general idea. Also, every counselor will use a different type of therapy, so you can never really know what to expect.
Counseling is a great gift and thinking about going shows that you both care about your marriage.
