All the healthy coping mechanisms in the world won't save me from having to take meds. Maybe reduce them but not no meds, at least that's what I'm told. I think you and your partner need to talk to your therapist and pdoc together. My pdoc once told my husband to back off and stop trying to save me because that's there job. My therapist told him trying to protect me from myself is pushing me away and that I will chose the disorder over him if he pushes. That I've done it before in my past and she's certain I'd do it again. Both conversations helped a lot. I think it's fairly common for partners to want to save/protect the other one.
It sounds like she doesn't know a lot about your mi and needs to hear from a professional.
