(Very short background on us. My wife and I decided to leave the church and are preparing to do so formally in about 2 weeks. See my previous threads for more info)
My wife and I have been seeing a marriage counselor for about a year now. We started seeing this counselor as a referral from LDS Family Services. The church is not and has never paid for sessions with this counselor.
Our next appointment coming up is on October 10th. We have not yet informed her that we are leaving the church. I'd rather not pay $80 for a session that's all about her trying to convince us to stay.
My wife and I still have a lot of issues we need to work out together so we need marriage counseling but we'd rather not start over with a new one.
Your feedback?
We like our counselor and we would like to continue seeing her.
Since she is affiliated with LDS Family Services, what ramifications if any are there for us to see her as former mormons?
She also sees non-mormons in her practice since she doesn't work 100% exclusively for LDS Family Services.
She has always claimed that she doesn't share information with the church that our sessions are confidential.
