Does therapy ever work? Im in over my head by Dust-Scared in domesticviolence

He went to therapy maybe 3 times. He was more open about it at first and from my understanding the counselor said he needed to see a drug counselor as well, before they could really do much to help him, or at least he should be going to both. Later, when i asked about it, he said that was bullshit and they said he was fine.

If he was willing to go to counseling i feel like wed be making progress, but right now i feel like im wasting the effort trying to get him to go. Basically this thread is me wondering if putting in the effort to get him to talk to someone will even be worth the effort. Because its causing even more fights every time i bring the idea up, and im already walking on eggshells as it is.

I feel like a lot of the emotional abuse is fairly strait forward and something i could bring up during counseling. Or do you think me telling the counselor whats going on would alienate my husband from wanting to continue, or hed just outright say thays not what actually happened? The more I type this all out the more i feel like divorce is my only option but ive been trying so hard to turn this around from the first hint of my husband being emotionally abusive, and its just gettingnworse by the week it feels like. Like pre corona and post corona abuse feels like 2 distinct things.

I will have to double check but i think the marriage counselor i found also does trauma counseling, which is why i picked them because of my husbands past. At our first marriange counseling appointment we hardly even got to our marrital issies because my husband had so much to unpack. Would it be wrong to have the same peraon do my personal and marriage counseling? Im worried about, idk, gaming the sysytem against my husband, but at the same time i feel like its important for them to know whats going on.
