I share a lot about my therapy with my partner. She has a degree in psychology so it is interesting to hear her take on things. Also, my T always asks how she is doing and to tell her that he said "Hi!" :-) She was at first very suspicious about me going to T, so I brought her to session with me to meet him. She thought he was going to tell me to leave her because we are not accepted yet by a lot of society. So when she got to see that he was very honest and kind and accepting, she opened up and trusted me with him. She is very supportive of me going to sessions. That is nice.
She doesn't know everything about what we talk about, and some things she will never know. Mates can be a bit more judgemental than a T. But that is ok. It is a very happy medium in my world.
