Ok, I admit I'm predisposed to see things in a suspicious light. But I think there's something strange going on here. Off hours texting does happen between client and practitioner but it usually involves answering questions about therapy, reinforcing coping skills, stuff that's relayed to therapy. Not dinner and goodnights. The therapist is blurring the lines between a helping therapeutic relationship and a social one. Not a healthy thing to do for either client or therapist but especially not the client who may be psychologically vulnerable.

I'm also a little stunned to learn that tarot card reading is part of court ordered treatment for alcoholism. Not that there's anything wrong with tarot card readings if that's your thing--just that I don't see it has much relevance for alcoholism treatment and I doubt very much if that's what the judge had in mind.
But whether or not I think something strange is going on here, kconnley, YOU clearly think something not quite right is going on. As hard as it is, you need to discuss this with your husband. It could be that he's had a spiritual awakening of some sort and this therapist is the catalyst. it could be something else. But you won't know if you don't ask him.
Even though part of you may not want to know the answer, which may be why you asked us and not him.
