maybe you could talk to marriage T about your feelings regarding this matter and she can help you sort out what would be best for you.

Good luck... Hugs.
I don't think there would be a problem with a balance in the relationship of marriage t being my individual t. My husband and I have both been in the hot seat with the marriage T. I don't think it would be an issue for my husband. We are doing really well in marriage T and he has mentioned that he doesn't think I'm done with past CSA. He suggested me going back to old T or the marriage T if I wanted to.

In some way I don't know if it's communication style or just dumb luck but I feel like the marriage T was able to connect with me on a more direct level than the old T.

I think I'm going to call the marriage T to ask her opinion or wait till the next marriage therapy appt to discuss.

Something to think about for now. Thank you for posting your thoughts.
