It sounds like you are trying to tell your husband what is going on in therapy, not so much to create a closer bond with him, but to justify to him why you need therapy so as to pacify his concerns/anxiety over the finances. It's all kind of getting mushed together.

If your husband has concerns about finances, that's fine. That's a marriage thing; I get that. But all you really need to say to him is that you still need to continue with therapy. If your husband and you need closer bonding, that's okay too; also a marriage thing. Find a way to bond that is about the both of you but separate from your therapy because your therapy is YOU time and needs its own place and privacy.

My husband and I (and my son for that matter) are all in therapy, in fact with the same T, but we almost never discuss what goes on in our private sessions. Try not to mix up your private work with your therapist with your relationship to your husband. Really confusing and can really complicate your thinking. Just seems like you've mixed it all together somehow, a bit illogically, and you need to take each part of the puzzle and set it in its own rightful place.
Thanks for this!
