After phone coaching session #2

[Accuray]

Walking in cold and without a plan is a mistake. I have not seen even one example of where an MC was able to repair a marriage where one person claimed to be "done". I've seen RetroV do that, but not MC.

I have seen MC have a great positive impact when both people realize they have problems but want things to work out -- that's really what MC is for -- you both have a shared goal but can't seem to get there on your own.

My MC said that most people come to MC after it's too late for the typical MC approach to work. One person comes to repair the relationship, and the other person comes for one of three reasons:

1) To help the LBS find peace with the fact that they're leaving
2) To help the LBS face and fix all their issues (while acknowledging none of their own)
3) To "tick the box" that they "tried MC" so they can move on and not be asked about it again.

None of these 3 scenarios set you on the road to reconciliation, and if you're not in the "good" scenario, then you must be in one of these three right?
