 In order for a relationship to thrive and for counseling to really work both people have to be committed and The problem is a lot of times if the relationship is such a bad place It's hard to be committed. What am I being committed to? How can I actually see that things would be better? So if you have a couple come for a week for a therapy session It could be your only chance to really get them in the door, especially if you have an unwilling spouse So let's say you have a 50 minute session or even in my go an hour and a half session So yes, it could be that it could be enough, but most of the time it's not do you really need someone who's already committed In advance to come, you know some semi-regularly Just to even give it a chance to see that see if the relationship could work So you're already kind of at a disadvantage by doing that Whereas if you're doing something more intense where it's a you know a retreat where we do we do two days You have someone committing to working two days. So by the time we've done two days You have a pretty good chance of clarity
