he made an assumption and asked if I wanted to come in for couples therapy with my H.

grrrrr I hate assumptions. This would make me question.

I think he does a lot of couples therapy so this was a natural question and a way of moving our conversation forward (what do you want from me?). I was a little more disturbed that my own T asked the same thing--would my H go to family therapy with my daughter and me? I think he has never really gotten it about this daughter, and how she has had significant emotional problems since childhood, probably because we don't talk about it a lot. But I have felt he has this idea about why my entire family should seek family therapy, and my goal right now in family therapy is not my T's idea. But he didn't push it on me and is maintaining respect for my needs. He thinks my H needs to do healing with my daughters. I don't disagree, but my issue is different right now, and I need immediate help on it, so that's what I am seeking.
