It's not too likely that she'll be very critical, past the first "writing session" or 2. It's just that you tend to restore some trust fairly early on, and it just goes deeper from there. It does have fairly religious overtones, but I never felt it was hard-sell or high pressure.

I'll echo what other posters have said. The only sharing is between the two of you. The presenting couples share their experiences, which are generally pretty powerful. And I'm sure that if you run into a roadblock, there are folks who can help you through it--but the way things are set up you're not likely to need that much facilitation. I felt closer to my H than I had in a long time, and fairly quickly. The overriding feeling was one of relief, and de-stressing, especially after the first evening. So--I don't blame you for being nervous, but it won't be long before you'll chuckle at yourself about that.

Best of luck, and prayers go with you!
