(((Suzy))) I'm so sorry about your therapist not wanting to continue. But I agree with others here about finding another therapist. From your point of view, were you making progress in therapy? Or do you agree with your therapist that you were not? If you were not, then you can look at what techniques your therapist was using and learn that this may not be the best approach to help you. And look for something different in your next therapist.

It sounds like your T recognized her own limitations and felt she could not help you anymore. This doesn't mean you failed or flunked. Maybe her idea of marital counseling is a good one. You don't have to go with your husband to marital counseling. It can be very beneficial to go alone to a therapist who is an expert in relationships. I currently go for individual psychotherapy to a therapist who specializes in family counseling and relationship counseling. He sees many, many couples. But we work alone, always, and I can't imagine my husband ever joining in with us, although my T has presented that option to me. Can you ask your T and your pdoc for referrals to good marriage/relationship counselors? And just explain to the marriage counselors that at this time you need to go on your own.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
