That's interesting. Do you have an idea why your t explained the process to your husband more than to you?

What I'm wondering is if T had better explained to me what the 'process' was, would I have more easily aligned myself with it? Being so confused about what was going on as we traveled this newly opened emotional road became part of my problem.

Are you sure there is a process that could have been logically predicted and explained, in a way you would have agreed with, ahead of time? I'm not sure I believe there's such a clearly definable process. But if you feel you have some insights now that would have helped if they had been explained logically before you discovered them yourself, I think it wouldn't hurt to say so to your therapist. Maybe it would be another strategy for her to use sometimes.
