Ooops - just wanted to add that from the outside looking in, I imagine that T told you about this new therapy because he DOES feel so close to you, and it is something he is excited about. I bet there are many patients he wouldn't have shared this with.

My T recently started a couples therapy training that he is SO gung ho about. I hate it, because to me, couples therapy = no individual therapy. We've actually talked about it a lot (and he's promised he'll do therapy with me no matter WHAT), and I call it "your stupid training" lol. I'm glad I told him how I feel, because we can talk openly about it. He's allowed to be excited about it, I'm allowed to feel resentful and irritated (because it takes him out of the office and makes me wonder if he's shifting his focus) and we can talk about it and laugh about it and still love each other.

Okay, NOW I'm done
