It can also help revitalize and renew a relationship that is working. The Healing Separation is designed to transform the basis of a love relationship – moving it from neediness to health. A successful Healing Separation requires that both partners be committed to personal growth, and to creating healthy relationships with themselves and each other. Such a framework will allow them to carve out a new and more fulfilling relationship than they've known in the past.  \nWhen a relationship is in trouble, the couple has essentially three choices:  \n1. Continue as is  \n2. End the relationship  \n3. Carve out a new relationship  \nIf a relationship is already crumbling, not many couples want to continue it as is. That leaves choices two and three. Chances are they hadn't thought much about the third choice – it probably seemed impossible. What's more, they don't know how to go about it. So their choice, almost by default, is to end the relationship.  \nThere is another alternative: partners can work out a new relationship with themselves and with each other. The Healing Separation offers a process within which to do just that.  \nWhat is a Healing Separation?  \nThe Healing Separation, like a \"trial-separation,\" involves living apart for a while, with the decision as to whether or not to end the relationship put off until some future time. Unlike unplanned and unstructured separations, however, the Healing Separation is a working separation, in which you and your partner dedicate yourselves to investing in your own personal growth. Can you create a better relationship with yourself that will allow different and healthier relationships with others? Sometimes your work during a Healing Separation may be on \"the old relationship,\" and sometimes it may be on \"the old you. \" The Healing Separation is a creative way to strengthen both partners and build a new relationship without dissolving the partnership.  \nA relationship between two people is analogous to a bridge. Each partner forms one end and provides half the support for the bridge. The connection between the two – the bridge – is the relationship itself. A Healing Separation gives the partners time to concentrate on themselves, on their own supportive end structures, rather than on the relationship, or the bridge. It can be a  \n131 West 10th Avenue • Denver CO 80204-4013 • Phone 303-399-9988 • Fax 303-399-9977  \nDenver Psychotherapy and Consultation Services, LLC • info@dpcsonline.com or www.dpcsonline.com Noeticus Counseling Center and Training Institute • info@noeticus.org or www.noeticus.org  \n\n|  | Denver Psychotherapy and Consultation Services, LLC® Resources for Personal and Professional Growth™ | Noeticus Counseling Center and Training Institute® Innovative Approaches to Counseling and Change ™\u003Cbr>|\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| |  |  |\n|  |  |  |\n\nscary process because neither person is tending the relationship bridge for a while – it could collapse. Nevertheless, it may be worth the risk. When the two ends eventually are rebuilt, the possibility exists for a new healthy relationship bridge to be built, supported by bridge ends, which are now stronger.  \nWhat Are the Purposes of a Healing Separation?  \nThe goals of a Healing Separation are more profound than simply whether you continue your love relationship. There is a high correlation between the amount of personal growth each person does and the success of the Healing Separation.
