The Importance of Seeking Therapy Before Major Decisions

 

Before making significant decisions that impact the entire family, such as separation or divorce, consider seeking family therapy. A therapist can provide a neutral perspective, facilitate open communication, and help you explore all options. This can lead to informed decisions and minimize potential harm to family members, especially children.
