I guess I am totally in the minority on this one. I talk with my husband alot about therapy. Maybe not so much in the beginning, but I do now. He has actually sent emails to my therapist about various things. I asked him to do it so that she could get an idea of how I am in RL and at home.
My goal is to get better. If it takes my husband getting in on it, then that is what I will do. When you suffer from a mood disorder (bipolar) like me, you don't always see the highs and lows as much as others do.
Actually, my entire family is somewhat in on this. Each of them, at one time or another, has sent an email to my therapist. I even have a couple of friends who sent her emails as well. Of course, no one sends anything unless I have asked them to.
This works very well for me, but I realize it may be a disaster for others.
