Individual therapy is an important part of couples therapy. What ever the problems are in the relationship it should be 50/50. 50 percent you and and 50 percent him, a lock and key fit. What needs to happen is that your T needs to understand your issues and how they fit in the relationship and same for your husband. As she helps you and teaches you how to change your part and he changes his part the relationship will begin to change. No one will know how but as each ingredient changes so will the lock and key fit. This is what will be worked on in couples therapy.

Do not worry if your T does not write back before your session. She may want to meet with you alone first and I am sure she will bring your letter into session to discus it. Do not worry about what to talk about or rush into the big stuff too fast. You are the boss of this and should work at your own pace. This is only the first one, there will be many many more after this.
