[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband has been going through something that bubbled up over the course of the pandemic.  We both were also consuming alcohol more frequently and in larger amounts than before.  This spring, his alcohol use took a turn.  One of our teen kids observed that he acted like Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining when he argued with/picked fights with me.   That said, he husband stopped drinking in early July, and resumed a moderate amount on weekends with limits he set for himself.  At the three month mark, he had clearly changed his behavior and attitude, but also started to try this moderate, limited drinking.  So far, so good, but it just makes me worried.  All of this was accompanied by mid-life crisis behavior -making plans with his buddies for July 4th and NYE.  He doesn't seem to understand why this undermines my confidence in the relationship - or, my confidence in his commitment to it.

I want to start marriage counseling but don't know where to start.  Would Gottman or EFT be more effective?  How did you choose your therapist and did it help?[/quote]

EFT. Gottman on,y scratches the surface, eft gets into the underlying attachment , foundational issues [/quote]
