It is my hour but my husband has always come to my sessions because I have such bad anxiety that I won't go without him. I would end up up telling him everything anyway. My therapists have always welcomed him. they like to hear his perspective I guess. By the way my psychiatrist won't allow my husband in to my appointments with her.
Thanks for your response. I guess I need to talk more in my sessions to my therapist about what I should expect?

IMHO, when you start to question what you need out of therapy, it is actually a positive step. It means that part of you is wanting to assert your own needs, which means you are a stronger person now. I would highly recommend taking the time to talk with T about your work together and assess what is and is not working for you.
Are you in couples therapy? I'm a bit confused why your T would spend time talking with your husband, if it is your therapy hour.
Maybe you need to have a session where it is just you and T?
You have not brought anyone down...that's what we're here for!  Thanks for posting!
