Things happened that resulted in me and SO seeking help from a MC. I am not yet able to talk about it without exploding so suffice it to say that I will go very very very low contact with his brother. I have no patience for liars and defamers. MC is quite frowned upon here I gather, but from all I gathered it is less about the act itself but the person providing it. I found a nice couple that does tandem sessions and also works with a third person to keep objectivity. SO and I had planned to get married in Autumn and try for a child starting in March but now we will do a few sessions first and then Reevaluate. We both are are not our best self right now. What is it that makes good IC and MC? What vetting questions should I ask? What is the view on seeking MC in the forum? Is going low contact with my SO’s brother possible?I also got the new that my childhood best friend is in the Ukraine, she has a friend there whom she will not leave.

Edit: yes, Ic/MC is counseling.
