I was wondering if anyone has had the phone counseling offered from this site? Was it helpful?
I am considering on trying it, but a little hesitant because its a little pricey. But if it can offer some insite and help with some of my hurt and confusion, I am all for it.
So those who have tried it, please tell me your thoughts

Thank you for responding Worth.
How did your session go? Was it a few sessions or did one help lead you the right direction?

I scheduled about a half dozen sessions with Steve over the course of several months. My WS had one session.
I did not save my marriage. But, I don't think this was adversely affected by counseling with Steve. It would have happened anyway. To the contrary, he helped me tremendously to analyze my personal sitch and be prepared for whatever would happen. I would not be here today helping others if I hadn't come out of my crisis in as good as shape as I did. This was due in large part to the counseling.

Stacy816,
I had one session with Jennifer and to tell you the truth, I was a little disappointed. Even though I had sent in my cymanca name so my posts could be reviewed, she had no knowledge of my situation. I wanted her to look over a possible letter and discuss the ramifications of my sending that letter. It was probably the narrow scope of my request that somewhat hamstrung the session. She was very pleasant and professional and called back the following day to discuss some proposed changes in the note.

I went through 7 or 8 sessions over a four month period with Steve. I agree with WAT. It was worth every penny I spent.

We did about 10-15 sessions in two months. Very intense at first then dropping to once a week. We stopped after going to a MB seminar and feeling we were getting these MB principals pretty well. It saved our marriage

I agree with WAT, worth every penny and more. MY WS did one session and I have done maybe a 8-10 over a 2 year period.
