I mentioned in Pink's thread that I had a lot of issues with what transpired during an individual session my H had with my T. It was early on in therapy I think I had met with her individually 2 times, my son had gone twice, and my husband went once. The focus of therapy at that time was supposed to be on helping our son. My husband made the session all about him and how our son was upsetting him, made him lash out at everyone,etc. Of course he couldn't stop there, then he had say how I was not being a supportive wife, blah, blah, blah. He claimed that SHE kept asking, so he just told her everything in great detail. When he came home from that session and told me all the things he had told her, I felt so exposed and belittled. I was angry because I was not able to defend myself against what was said, and probably will never open my mouth. In my sessions I had talked very little about him and focused my comments on parenting issues. I didn't even want to go back after that. I remember being so mad at both him and my T. It took me a long time to get comfortable after that. It was too much too soon and a very one sided perspective. It may have helped my T understand the situation better, but in hindsight I would NEVER repeat that experience.
