Hi LH- You might need to change your username from LostHope to FoundHope! My H and I both went to counseling (not SBT--solution oriented brief therapy--though) prior to his leaving and he did go for some individual counseling. We have not returned to counseling as a couple and I have not pushed the issue because we are making progress and I trust the pace at which we are moving. Were we to go to counseling now I would certainly only consider going to an SBT counselor that follows the DB principles.
