Is that something you could work on in an individual session with this T? Could he help you with coping skills so you can stay present better during confrontation?
I guess this is why we are in couples therapy, it is very difficult. I do not have to win, I need to at least keep up. I need to hold up end of communicating, that is where the problem is. Not just in couples therapy but in any situation that evokes my emotions.

you are right, learning coping skills in individual sessions is what needs to be done.
