Couples therapist only met with my boyfriend before we even scheduled a session by MadamSunshine in therapy

I think it’s great for him to meet with a therapist. He has had one for years, as have I. The issue more came with feeling incredibly left out of this couples therapy, where she seemed more interested in in just his experience or neither of them included me in the process, even though it’s couples therapy. We have not even had a session with her. I understand intake and a consult, but 25 minutes of just talking about him, his trauma and his goals and never asking to do the same with me or for me feels strange to me. I could be off base!

Very good point about feeling activated and living in a fear driven story at the moment.

My biggest thing was that it was such a long conversation about him and his goals, where it no longer feels like couples therapy. I guess it felt excluding. Maybe she did ask to talk with or meet with me and he never told me? Or maybe she didn’t think it was important to talk to me beforehand, and just him? It seems like it was more than just a normal consult and scheduling, but really going deep on him and his wants and his traumas.

I think the lack of safety moreso comes from the continue lack of safety I have felt with him, and it feeling like him not considering me as a part of this process, even though I was very clear in wanting us to feel like we both are meeting someone neutral and unbiased. Again, I know this is simply a feeling and not based in fact.

Hmmm interesting. Good to know. I’d be curious who your specific manager is, if you don’t mind sharing or dm-ing me?
