I’m so glad that you’ve decided to take the next step towards getting clarity about the future of your relationship.

This course is designed to help you understand the basics of discernment counseling so that you start the process with confidence. But more than that, it’s to help you kickstart our work in counseling. Since discernment counseling is a short-term process, it’s essential to hit-the-ground-running.

This course is divided into three modules, which will take around 90 minutes to complete. In each module, you’ll be asked to watch a video and complete journaling exercises that correspond with the video content. When we begin working together in counseling, i’ll ask you to unpack some of the insights you had when completing your journaling exercises. You’ll want to work on the journaling prompts independently without collaborating with your partner.

To those reluctant about journaling: I understand the impulse to skip over the journaling exercises. But hear me out on this. You’re coming to discernment counseling in order to make one of the biggest decisions of your life. Slowing down and exploring your thoughts & feelings is essential to the process. Journaling forces you to do just that. It will help you articulate insights that will be valuable to bring into the counseling process. So, give it a try!
