Do you feel like your husband doesn't understand therapy and/or your reasons for going?
My T. recommended I tell my husband more about our sessions so he has a "full deck of cards" when interacting with me and for parenting purposes. I talked to him last night about my last session and my feelings towards my T (she's female, maternal feelings towards her). He's known and I have suggested he research transference. He got irritated saying that it looks like therapy will have to end and I'll be upset, so might as well end now.
I read him something about attachment issues and those with them feel even stronger feelings towards their T. I also gave him an example of him going to a male T. and feeling like he could be his father. None of it helped. I have offered to bring him to a session. When I told him he could have read about transference by now he said "you can't expect me to do things right away". I reminded him I told him about it the end of June/first of July.
My husband knows my T. and has even been to her. It makes me never want to discuss it with him again.
