Other therapy approaches might be more helpful.

I see someone recommend EMDR and that is one option, although my psychologist just yesterday said that most recent research says EMDR works best for recent trauma and other therapies, including the guided imagery and hypnosis, work best for older traumas. It sounds to me that you may have both; your mother's bp and suicide, your OD, your own diagnois, and your current relationship issues are a lot for you to have going on.

If you don't see a therapist of your own as well as seeing one with your husband, you might add that: having someone just for you where it is just about you. Whatever you do separately to feel better will carry over to your marriage.

Being stuck on something or another is a reason we go for therapy. Being stuck on a topic in theapy sounds frustrating and may just mean that type of therapy or that therapist aren't what you need, which is the bottom line.. what it is that you need and want.

You might also want to talk to you current T about not liking being stuck and feeing that it isn't working for you.

What about working together with your husband on nutrition issues? It might be fun to be a team, learning about nutrition, shopping and planning meals, and cooking together. A walk together after supper or whenever you have the time would be intimate and some nice quiet time together.

You can't flunk therapy any more than you can flunk.. say shopping: but you might find that one place has more to offer you that you want than another place does.That isn't flunking, that is learning about what you want. Right now, you are going and trying and that is success!
