Have you suggested going with him, together? Maybe as a couple he'll feel less anxious? Just a suggestio, I don't know either one of you so I can't tell, but when I first went I was alone and I met my psychologist and told him I had to leave I was too upset to even talk, I handed him the check cause I felt terrible standing him up, and I drove off, he called me at home and we rescheduled and things then worked out, I was less scared to talk. Opening up to a stranger at first can be ver scary but becomes easy as sessions go on, kinda like talking to a good friend providing the therapist makes you feel comfortable, cause I had one I never went back to, made me feel like I was the one that had to work on everything and was a real shmuck so I never went back, but I'd like to believe from my positive experiences that most therapists are beneficial to those in need. Talk it over again with him when the time is good and see what happens, make it so it is not like a "pressured" situation which I'm sure you are not doing, you seem very understanding. Take care of yourself, and each other, let us know how it goes.
