This is part three of a four-part series on therapeutic separations. In this episode, Amie and Alana break down the pieces of a therapeutic agreement for separation. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions agreed upon by the couple as they undergo the separation process. It serves as a framework to establish clear boundaries, expectations, and goals.
Listen to learn the 12 critical questions outlined in the agreement, including:
- What are the goals for the separation?
- What are the expectations for visiting each other’s living spaces?
- Who will be taking the children and when?
