My husband and I had a joint session today trying to get out of going in circles over whether or not to move.
And when my husband left, there was a bounce in his step and he was happier than I've seen him in months. And all evening he's been very loving towards me.
Magic.
It was kind of interesting to see my therapist in his more impersonal therapist role. He definitely had a different style with my husband than he has with me, and I think it was more like he had with me in the very beginning.
And my therapist did a lot of talking about me to my husband (and vice versa of course), with my permission. And that was most interesting of all. He was direct, but very kind in how he phrased things, and he really did understand why I'm behaving the way I'm behaving. Even though I didn't tell him those things directly. He really does understand me.
He put my behavior in such a compassionate and caring way. I had always thought he thought badly of me for it. But maybe I'm just seeing my own reflection in his words.
My husband is back to being indecisive, but in a different way.
Magic.
