Thanks. It came up some in marriage counseling yesterday, and MC noted that I had some red flags (drinking), but it's not like he really gave any suggestions on what to do. Just said sounds like it's coming from an emotional place (as in, using alcohol to cope with anxiety/stress). I plan to talk about it with my individual T (T2) tomorrow and am just wondering if I should expect the same sort of reaction from him. Like, "yep, sounds like you could have an issue." When I'd talked about it in the past with T1, she acted like it was no big deal.
So mostly wondering if that's standard protocol for T's (obviously, not those who specialize in addiction), like point it out (or not), but not actually give strategies to help.
