Ready2Change (II) - Detached

[Ready2Change]

Are you saying that you and your W spent an entire day with Michele, as in Michele Weiner-Davis??? WOW

Yes. We had a session from 9-4. This was the first time W or I have been to counseling. W is full speed ahead with D. W didn't want weeks of sessions. She was very reluctant to go, but she did!

Can you give us any idea what it was like?

Michele was wounderful. She listened to our issues as well as covered topics that I have read in her books. She spend some time with us as a couple, as well as some one on one time with each of us. Michele guided W and I through an "Active Listening" dialog. Very usefull. W and I actually came to an agreement on an issue!

Was it a counseling session or more like a lecture?

Counseling session

Was it just the two of you with Michele or other couples also?

Just Me, W, and Michele

I guess I am just in awe that someone would have that opportunity. I have listened to Michele's CDs and I just think it would be so awesome to actually get to meet her and have the chance to have her talk to both H and W.

It was really great to meet her in person. As I watched Michele, I was able see how to she was able to draw out feelings from W (and me). Michele asked how W saw future. It was very different than I invision, but the KEY WAS "I UNDERSTAND HOW W FEELS!". Watching Michele just listen was very enlightening!

Has your W shared her thoughts on the day?

I am praying Michele had a positive effect on W. I haven't seen or spoken wife since session. I should see W tonight.
