Don't confuse feelings(Anger,frustration,sadness,happiness) for beliefs(I want to be married. I want to be divorced).


I always (try to) put listening to understand at the top of "My role". Validate the emotions. Listen and clarify.

It is OK. to stand firm on your core values, IF SOME ASKS for your thoughts. "I don't believe D is the solution to our problems". DO NOT BE WORDY.

I believe family therapy is different than MC. Focus on your children's needs.
