When marriage counselor uses an analogy/story from his life that he thinks perfectly fits the situation, but...it doesn't. Like today, when he compared my husband dealing with my anxiety to his taking his daughter to a kids' movie that he didn't want to see. Saying both were cases of something they didn't want to have to do, but did it because they loved her/me. Comparing my panic attacks to annoying kids' movies just felt...I don't know, kind of diminishing.
