some of my numbness was gone and that was what was going to happen. Also, I was feeling some pressure on the marriage front. Anyway, all of a sudden I got the idea that I was going to call and cancel my session.

Lemon (yes I remember you!), I think that is part of what is happening with me. I am just so hurt and fragile but angry and elated too, all in a mix, bam bam bam these feelings rapidly one after the other all day long. Numbness is gone. I feel I can't contain if I go to therapy. I am certainly not containing outside of therapy. We are supposed to talk about nuts and bolts stuff at our session. I just don't know if I can. And it would be horrible to just sit there in a corner and cry while T and my husband discuss the nuts and bolts.

Remember just because it is a couples therapy session doesn't mean you can't bring up individual concerns as well.

Lemon, I didn't know that was permitted. That's good to hear. I would hate to ask T in our couples session if I could have an individual session too and have him say no in front of my husband. Rejection is bad enough, but in the triad setting, I would be devastated. Thanks so much for your encouragement. Maybe I will try what SecretGarden suggested and try to get a few minutes alone with T at the beginning of our session.

It's so confusing when we find ourselves in another person, but are fighting to pull ourselves out of that identity. Does that make any sense?

Yes, I understand completely, sister. It's very frightening.
