When a client is unsure about leaving their relationship, therapy can stall. You’ll either feel stuck in their internal tug-of-war or be faced with a couple where one partner is checked out before therapy even begins. This training explores how to work with individual clients experiencing divorce ambivalence, and introduces Discernment Counseling—a brief, structured model specifically designed for mixed-agenda couples. Learn what makes Discernment Counseling effective, why it's not couples therapy, and how to refer clients in a way that protects autonomy, reduces burnout, and keeps therapy on track. Includes a live case consult with real-world takeaways.

Learning objectives include: Define divorce ambivalence in clients, identify the main challenges for working with divorce-ambivalent clients in individual therapy, discuss the principle clinical strategies and skills for treating divorce-ambivalent clients, and describe skills for referring these clients for couples’ work.
