In reply to T suggested Husband come with me for a session, posted by Poet on November 12, 2006, at 17:55:32
Yeah. Didn't work out so well.
It might have been fine if my therapist had done all the talking. But my husband saw it as the perfect opportunity to say what he thought, with a professional in the room.
Mind you, this was in the midst of my worst postpartum, and frank talk wasn't particularly helpful to me.
On the bright side, my therapist still remembers it ten years later, and quotes my husband and says he's never heard anything like it in his entire years of practice.
Not that it was especially mean or anything. Nothing like that. My husband is a really terrific guy. But when he finds himself around therapists or counselors of any sort, the most psychologically politically incorrect things seem to find their way out of his mouth.
But this is only one person's results, and others' results might vary.
