Is My Relationship Salvageable?

Ben and Heather speak to the Practice Specialist (Counselling) at Relationships Australia NSW about how to know if your relationship is salvageable. Sandra is a psychologist with a Masters in Couple and Family Therapy and years of experience in relationship counselling. She helps tease out answers to the following questions.

1. If someone has started thinking about separation but hasn't yet spoken to their partner, what's the first thing they should do?
2. What sorts of questions should someone ask themselves if trying to decide whether their relationship is worth saving?
3. How can a psychologist or counsellor help in making the right decision?
4. What are the signs that a relationship is really over?
5. What are the signs it's worth trying again?
6. If the relationship is worth saving, what should I be doing?

Sandra also considers 3 different scenarios and provides her thoughts on whether the relationship can move forward under these circumstances.
