I forgot to mention-- I think my husband has a difficult time understanding my emotional reaction when I come home from therapy. And I can completely see why this would be hard for him. I go to therapy 2x per week so that means 2x per week I am coming home with my emotions completely stirred up. I see T on Fridays, so normally on Friday my husband is geared up for the weekend, excited for us to hang out, and I am in post-therapy mode. Sometimes when I leave T I am in my introspective-mode-- I need to think, process, need time to be quiet, be alone, take a walk. Sometimes I try to maintain that connected feeling by immediately writing in my journal, or reading my books. Sometimes I come home very upset. My husband is very understanding of this as long as I communicate. If I tell him, "My emotions are a little crazy from therapy, I just need some time," he will be completely alright with that. But I am not always great at communicating that... I tend to just get lost within my own thoughts, and go off into my world.... I am working on hard on letting him know things. It really strengthens the relationship and avoids a lot of arguments.
