Couples Therapist Thought: Is Healthy Separation Possible for Couples?

I've found myself wondering if it's possible for separation to be a healthy approach for couples to come back together or is separation the first step to divorce. In this video, you can see how I am exploring this thought and my thoughts of what is needed for healthy separation to exist.
I'm curious for you: Do you think healthy separation is possible?
