Discernment Counseling: Clarity Before the Crossroads

What happens when one partner wants out and the other wants to stay? Discernment counseling offers couples clarity at one of the hardest crossroads: deciding whether to work on the marriage, separate, or take time to reflect.

In this episode of Confident Coparenting™, Jeanne Ward sits down with discernment counselor Kathleen Shack to explore what this unique process looks like, how it differs from traditional couples therapy, and what misconceptions often keep couples from seeking it. Whether you’re in that “Should I stay, or should I go?” space—or simply want to understand this hidden gem in the world of relationship support—this conversation will give you insight, hope, and a fresh perspective.
