back from counseling

Re: back from counseling

  • I think you need to bring that challenge to your counselor and ask them where your disconnect is in what he's saying vs. how you, personally, are interpreting as a message.  Also tell him that you understand some of the higher-end ideas, and maybe even the practicalities, but certainly you don't feel equipped from the sessions for application purposes.  

     I hear what your counselor is saying...and I think my friend had difficulty as well in her marriage sessions - she felt "give each other a pass" meant one thing (and like yourself was not able to feel that growth would happen but feared she would be further taken advantage of)...we urged her to speak plainly about that to her therapist, and he was able to approach it from a different angle.  When your therapist (or your DH) says something that is open to interpretation (like the "give each other a pass" comment) it is absolutely vital that you ask what that means...have them define it in concrete terms.
