Ben and Heather speak to the Practice Specialist (Counselling) at Relationships Australia NSW about how to know if your relationship is salvageable. Sandra is a psychologist with a Masters in Couple and Family Therapy and years of experience in relationship counselling. She helps tease out answers to the following questions.
- If someone has started thinking about separation but hasn't yet spoken to their partner, what's the first thing they should do?
- What sorts of questions should someone ask themselves if trying to decide whether their relationship is worth saving?
- How can a psychologist or counsellor help in making the right decision?
- What are the signs that a relationship is really over?
- What are the signs it's worth trying again?
- If the relationship is worth saving, what should I be doing?
Sandra also considers 3 different scenarios and provides her thoughts on whether the relationship can move forward under these circumstances.
