A judge from the city of Castro Alves in the state of Bahia[br]has been using a psychotherapy technique

0:00:04.534,0:00:08.359
to solve problems from couples in separation process.

0:00:08.379,0:00:14.277
60% of the people that participated in the sessions[br]said that there were improvements in the conflicts

0:00:14.285,0:00:19.239
and the success rate in the conciliations[br]reached almost 90%

0:00:37.038,0:00:42.209

0:00:51.421,0:00:55.154
The origin of the process is a relationship conflict

0:00:55.196,0:00:59.814
Therefore you can only solve it if you have[br]a solution for the relationship

0:00:59.847,0:01:04.266
There is no use extinguishing a process where in the next moment[br]people will be fighting again with a new lawsuit in court

0:01:04.482,0:01:08.504

told that there was an improvement in the relationships[br]that generated the legal processes

0:01:40.437,0:01:42.222
For my understanting, I think [br]he will do the same as I did

0:01:42.230,0:01:47.270

0:02:02.598,0:02:05.636
We love our sons, I love my wife

0:02:06.970,0:02:13.361
From now on, we'll move on and live well[br]May God bless our marriage

0:02:13.440,0:02:15.104
What if this method was applied[br]before the person started the lawsuit

0:02:15.145,0:02:19.705
it could have avoided many other lawsuits for sure
