My wife has been a huge support to me with my anxiety, however it is getting to her. It upsets her to see me this way. She loves me very much and feels helpless when I am sad or scared. She is my life and I love her very much, but I don't know how to help her get thru this with me. She requested that we go in for couples counseling and I freaked! I was thrown back, like "OH my Gosh" our marriage is in trouble. Well it isn't. She explained that she just wants a moderator, a third person to talk with so that when she expresses her feeling the Therapist can interpret and explain to me how to take them. I guess my question here is has anyone had the same situation and how did they handle it? My wife loves me very much and just wants what is best for me, but it hurts her to see me this way.
Thanks for any feedback
