My therapist has been on vacation for the last month, so conversations about my therapy with my people have been very limited. Why discuss it? There's nothing new to add to the conversation.
But tonight I was making plans with my husband for Saturday, and I mentioned leaving to go out after noonish. He asked why, and I said it was because I have an appointment with T. His response was a bored "oh." Granted, he was multitasking, so I was probably reading into his response too much.
This got me thinking about how my husband feels about my treatment in therapy, and how that's morphed over time. So let's talk about our people and therapy. When I say people, I think about close relationships. Partners, children, parents, friends, etc.
Who knows you're in therapy?
How did they feel about you starting therapy?
Do they still feel that way now or have things changed?
Is there anyone really close to you that doesn't know you're in therapy or that you don't discuss it with?
How much do you discuss your treatment with your people?
And anything else pertinent.
