What do you do when you’re leaning towards getting a divorce and your spouse wants to work on your marriage? That’s the question we dive into today in this discussion with Dr. Ginny Wright, a seasoned clinical psychologist who is certified in discernment therapy (a/k/a discernment counseling.)

Dr. Wright works with couples who are on the brink of divorce to cut through the fog of indecision and come to a decision about their marriage with clarity and confidence. She uses a process developed by Bill Doherty called discernment counseling or discernment therapy. It is a specialized, short-term form of therapy that’s specially made for couples on the brink of divorce.

Traditional marriage counseling presumes a couple wants to save their marriage. Divorce lawyers assume that a couple (or at least one spouse!) wants a divorce. Discernment therapy bridges the gap between those two choices and helps a couple reach clarity about what they each really want so that they can take the path that's most appropriate for them.

If you’re leaning toward divorce while your spouse wants to save your marriage (or vice versa) this podcast episode will provide you with a valuable tool for working through your ambivalence and coming to a decision about your marriage that you feel good about.
