many therapists now days do text their clients off hours. Many therapists do give their clients therapeutic tools and resources to handle their problems. bells palsy is becoming less and less a huge medical problem as doctors gather new research and evidence. for example did you know that someone who has a tooth pulled can suffer the problems associated with bells palsy, someone who falls down and injures their neck of face muscles if their head gets jarred or hit against something can suffer bells palsy. now days bells palsy is just the name that describes a sudden weakness in the facial muscles that cause a persons face features to appear droopy and stroke like. and is better in just a matter or weeks. its not long term, I have had it due to dental work. my wife had it for a time due to a stiff neck and the nerves in her face were also affected... my point is the bells palsy is not a permanent high risk and total debilitating medical condition. its a short term problem that accompanies other medical or dental conditions. some people with mental problems can cause their self to have this problem too. the technical/ psychological term for a person who due to having mental problems have physical problems is called conversion disorder or in american words its called somatic disorder. this is treated with stress reduction techniques, medication and such depending upon the root problem that the physical health problem is there representing.

chaka in in easy to understand words is when a person has control over their body, its the belief of the mind affects the body. its considered the spiritual center of a persons mind \ body connection... you know how christians believe in a god and others believe in others believe in other higher powers, and they receive calming affects from their praying and other religious practices. well in some therapy techniques such as mindfulness, and such people can receive calming affects by knowing that thoughts can affect their body's and how to control that.

(challenge take a moment and think about something sad, notice how your body reacts, now think about something good and notice how your mood and body reacts)

well learning how to control that "chaka" spiritual (moods and beliefs in higher powers) mind body connection actually helps bells palsy because it relaxes the body (with bells palsy the more you tighten up your muscles the harder the symptoms are)

since this is court ordered treatment and you may not know all the elements that your husband and the therapist must meet for the court standards and you are not a part of the sessions with the therapist, you dont know how and why these treatments are there, my suggestion is to let your grown adult husband deal with his therapy issues or ask him if you can also be in therapy with him at his sessions. my other suggestion is that most spouses of alcohol treatment usually enter treatment their self. change is hard and sometimes in alcohol situaitons there is whats called an enabler, an enabler is the wife and children that unknowingly or purposely help the alcoholic or person who was caught drinking to hide the problem, cleans up the messes and does everything they can to make sure to not set off the person who is donig the drinking. anyway when an enabler discovers their loved one is changing / healing it can be a bit bothersome, scary so many people of loved ones who drink get therapy for their self too. not saying you are in this position of being the enabler just saying thats a situation that sometimes happens when there is a drinker in the family. my suggestion is if your husbands treatment for his alcohol problem is causing you problems, maybe you can join him in therapy so you understand what they are doing in therapy or get therapy for yourself to help you better understand what and why his therapist may be doing things the way they are and help you to not be so stressed out during this process.
