I don't know, how would that work? It did feel good to feel like the therapist was interested in me and helping me talk and feel better.. But I still didn't say what I wanted to say and then went home and told everything to my partner so calmly. Maybe the truth is that I shared my emotional realty with my therapist and that gave me the strength to share the facts with my partner .. Which then resulted in positive feedback which then resulted in much less fear and shame and anxiety.. Mostly relief
