Turning a New Leaf

My wife and I decided to find a new couples therapist. I have not felt comfortable with the old one for a few months now …. really since my hospitalization. To be honest, I believe she did not do enough to protect me in my time of need.

It feels like she was more about my wife’s feeling about an open marriage than protecting my mental health. I was in serious trouble and she pushed me too hard to talk about stuff that I was in no way ready to discuss.

She knew I was being triggered, that I was dissociating at therapy and yet she went along with what we were talking about. It wasn’t until months into it and we said we were closing our marriage that she talked about not being able to discuss open marriage ethically. And that was after she called my individual therapist who I know said we had to stop.

My wife asked if I was going to be the same way (non-communicative) with a new therapist. I don’t know, but what we are doing now is not working and I am willing to trying.
