So, H and I will be starting M couseling soon. The hardest part is going to be finding a day and a time that we can all agree on.

I was thinking for ease of appointment making, babysitting, and traveling we could do it either right before or right after my T appointment on Fridays. I am not sure how often we will end up going, b/c we are paying out of pocket, plus me seeing T Twice a week.. Not sure we can afford anything, but once a month.

Sooo.. do you think that will be T overload. I ususally have to really sit down and process what happens in regular T, and then add MT on top of that.. What do you all think?

We tend to do MT first and then T. I'd suggest 2x a month.

I don't think I could do regular T then Marriage T, but maybe Marriage T first wouldn't be so bad.

I am doing Pdoc and T back to back next week. That should be interesting.

I'm starting MC next week with a new T, but still in the same office as my own T. My T recommended never having both on the same day. Too much to process and work through for one day. As it is, I see my personal T next Monday and start seeing the MC with my DH on Tuesday and possibly a 2nd appt with my T later in the week. Seems like a lot, but necessary at this point.

Finding a mutually doable time for MC can be a nightmare. When my partner and I went, there were times when I would do MC first and then individual T right after (with time in between for driving). It was a little overwhelming sometimes, and I invariably ended up processing the MC session with individual T. Sometimes that was annoying because there was other stuff I wanted to talk about. But if you're seeing individual T twice weekly, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
