I think they will. The therapist is pretty good at communication and asking the right questions. She is also experienced with depression. I think it is hard on Sarah that I have depression. I think the sessions will help her understand me better. I just worry about wearing her down emotionally with it. A therapist can stand by you in the brunt of it and lead your life into a better direction. I fear that if I am an open book emotionally my wife won't like all of the ups and downs.

Before I opened up to Sarah about it, I would focus on school or work and try to keep my mind busy until the sadness faded. When I isolate and withdraw I tend to get worse and it builds up to a point of being uncopable. Expecially back when I didn't have anyone to talk to about it and in my teens I didn't understand what depression was. I'm now trying to find a better way to have balance in my life. Overloading myself may keep me safe and lessen the depression, but it doesn't address it and it was harmful to my marriage. I have one on one therapy with the same therapist. I find her easy to talk to.
