When I first started going and there were very specific issues relating to my relationship I did mention it a lot, but that didn't go over well. T was viewed as a svengali type influence so there was resentment.
Now it doesn't come up much. I only mention things that might relay parenting/general advice or interesting psych related facts. Plus therapy is the one place where I can say anything, things I wouldn't share with my friends or family, so I usually don't talk to anyone about it. I'm sorry your husband isn't supportive, but like you said maybe therapy needs to be just for you right now. You could use communication strategies you learn in therapy into practice with your husband without talking about the sessions themselves. I don't think it's unusual for people without knowledge or experience with therapy to feel uncomfortable or even resentful of therapy, especially if they see changes in their partner that they are not thrilled about. Hopefully it will become something he's more understanding of with time. It's a process...
