memoboy Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 My ex and me talked about going to therapy session together? We're not together any more for 5 months already. But we're both having problems of letting go of each other and accept or wrap our heads around of what happened between us. We still love each other. Would it be a good idea? My ex is also moving away for 4 months in a few weeks.
Lernaean_Hydra Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 If you and your ex are both feeling like you're having trouble letting go then I see no problem with therapy. It's possible outside influence could certainly help put things in perspective. 2
SycamoreCircle Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Sounds good to me. I wish I could have had that with my ex. 1
Ajax Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 My ex brought up couples counseling just before the breakup, which I balked at until it was too late. I regret not taking her up on it. Even if things still didn't work out, I'd have the knowledge that we'd tried everything we could to make things work, and I think it might have.
Author memoboy Posted December 9, 2014 Author Posted December 9, 2014 But the description I read from the therapy site – it seems more for the couples who are still together. We are not any more and I'm sure if we ever end up back together. She is not over me and is still heartbroken but doesn't seem to want to get back together either.

I don't think they would turn you away, And I'm sure you wouldn't be the first broken up couple to seek counseling. The point would be to help facilitate communication, if you want it. And communication is what's called for here to even see if this is something you want. I think before you agree to it you need to find out what your ex's intentions are. If she's hoping it will bring you closer to a reconciliation, which seems to be what you want, then I think it's a great idea. If on the other hand she's hoping it will help bring closure to a relationship she's committed to leaving behind, then that's not what you want and you don't owe her that.
Satu Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Individual therapy is a good idea every time. Couples therapy might bring some certainty about whether you should reconcile and be together again, or truly end things. Seems like it might be helpful.
