We went to a female therapist who sided with my wife and made me out to be the bad guy. When saw a male therapist that I liked but my wife felt he didn't understand her perspective. We decided to give Couples on the Brink a try because they had male and female co-therapy teams. This is exactly what we needed for each of us to feel understood.

My biggest complaint with therapists in the past was that as soon as we got down to an issue that time was up and we had to wait a full week to continue. It seemed like time always ran out as soon as we got rolling. What caught my eye with Couples on the Brink was they took time out of the equation. However much time we needed to resolve an issue we got. Some of our sessions were over two hours long and they were grueling but at least we were able to push through to some resolution. I honestly don't think we would have gotten better with only one hour a week.

Thank you very much for starting Couples on the Brink. I can honestly say that we would be divorced now if it wasn't for your weekend intensive.

Renée and I had never been to a therapist before. We had no idea what to expect with Couples on the Brink. We were pleasantly surprised that it was a positive learning experience for both of us. I think we both felt we would be attacked or blamed by the other one and that things would get out of control. That never happened and we were able to solve some long-standing problems between us. Pushing through our hesitation was well worth it.

We were going in a real bad direction. I'm glad we caught it when we did. We found this program when we really needed it and are grateful for all the help we got.

I never dreamed that we would ever need to go to a marriage counselor. I always thought that a stranger would never be able to tell us something about our relationship that we didn't already know. I really had it backwards. Our therapists were able to share perspectives that never occurred to us. We always left with ideas that made us think. It seems each session, we left with ideas about how we could treat each other differently. It was an eye-opening experience to say the least.

We had split up and gotten back together many times. I was sick of the back and forth and wanted to put an end to our unhappiness. I had even consulted an attorney and gave a deposit. My husband convinced me that instead of getting different attorneys we should go through a mediator. As we were looking for one online we came across the Couples on the Brink website by accident. After reading about how the program is different from traditional marriage counseling, we agreed that we didn't have anything to lose. Thank goodness for the Internet or we probably never would have found out about this program. I'm not sure if we were just ready or what but everything our therapist said made so much sense. I also think it might have had something to do with hitting rock bottom and having the right kind of help. If one of those ingredients wasn't there, I don't think we would have made it.

We were over the brink when we had our first session. I don't think either of us really thought this would work. However, your co-therapy approach was so different for us and so helpful. Having two therapists hear both sides really helped to defuse a lot of our anger. Once the anger had diminished, it was much easier to actually work on problem solving. The other key for us was figuring out how to let go of the past. Neither of us had realized how much a part of our present life arguments were driven by problems from our past. It's been six months since our last Couples on the Brink session and we are still doing quite well. Thank you very much.

My fiancé and I put off our wedding three times. I always thought if we gave ourselves more time we would eventually find peace but unfortunately the peace never came. A friend of ours recommended us to Couples on the Brink. We had seen a marriage counselor before but it didn't seem to help. During our first session we shared things with each other in ways we never had before. It didn't take long for us to realize what had been holding us back all this time. We had a beautiful wedding last year and have been living with more peace than either of us ever imagined.

My husband and I were always very hesitant about asking a stranger for help on our relationship. What we liked about Couples on the Brink is that we were able to attend their weekend workshop to get a feel for their program. We were able to ask questions about what we were getting into and even meet our potential therapists. This gave my husband and I an opportunity to get a taste of the program before we made any decisions.
