Hi Chaotic...

Don't have to much to offer, but I agree with some others that the "fake it till you make it" statement would set me off. I understand the concept, and yes I have even used the technique in certain situations, but to have a T tell me that this is what I should do would anger me!!

In regards to your husband. I hear you saying that you don't want to include him in your recovery when you say that you don't want his help. I think that this is okay, but just realize that not including him might put a further strain on your relationship. It already sounds strained with some of his behaviors you have written about.

Have you ever thought of taking him to a T session with you and having your T help you explain what you need from him during these times in your recovery? This might be helpful because you could get it across to him that you want to focus on this more so by yourself and that if you need him to be more a part of it, you will let him know. It could help him to know how best to cope himself during your recovery.

I hope I didn't step out of line here...it wasn't my intention.

I wish you the best of luck!!
