CW - For many of us on this board, counseling made things MUCH worse.

There are stages of this process, I believe if you are in STAGE 1 where there is a lot of ANGER, it's not good. the WAS just beats the hell out of the LBS.

If you can get to stage 2 - friendship, that's when there may be a benefit to the counseling. However, once you get here, you do not want to re-hash the past and you are moving forward as a couple again.
