It can be useful in practical ways (some of which you mentioned--identifying ways to argue with your husband), and as you go through those stages, trust is being built and tested.
It's really hard for you to get to know how the therapist operates and where s/he is coming from, and vice versa, until you start to experience trust as things are brought up--they learn about you and you learn about them.
You also come to find whether or not it's a good fit. It's hard to know when that happens. Some people know right away, others take longer.
How do you feel about this therapist in general? Do you think he
gets you?
