In reply to T suggested Husband come with me for a session, posted by Poet on November 12, 2006, at 17:55:32
Yes, and it was the single worst therapy session I've ever experienced. What I hated was that my therapist acted with my husband just like he acted with me. He made the same little jokey statements, and used the same techniques to make my H feel at ease. It made my T relationship feel so generic, when I'd thought it was rather special. Also, I felt ganged up on. I totally shut down, and consequently freaked out my husband, who had never seen me like that (generally I like to talk).
Later my DH went to see my therapist by himself a couple of times. That was much better from my perspective. Actually, it was lovely. I thought for a while that mayabe the two of them could work out my problems, and I could skip therapy going forward. ;) But, seriously, those sessions were helpful to my DH and myself.
