[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same poster as above. If I were to do it again, I would not go to marriage therapy. My second one was much better than the first. Yoga or talking to a friend would have been time better spent. [/quote]

I have liked individual therapy a lot.  My therapist does not mind repeatedly talking about issues I think would be exhausting to my friends after awhile.  She has been a helpful sounding board and had helped me stay accountable for things I need to do.  I found my attitude really improved with my children and my husband with her help.  She also sort of functions as the mother-like figure I never had, because my mother is mentally unwell.

After therapy I sometimes feel a bit sad and exhausted, but over time I have worked through a lot and feel better.  So it sort of surprises me how unhappy I am with the marriage counselor, even when she is saying really similar things.[/quote]

This could be the triangle thing. Your mother was mentally unwell. Was your dad in denial? You may be reliving some issue where you feel like the other responsible adult in the room is in denial of your feelings and of very real issues in your life that are impacting you. Unpack and be sure you aren’t projecting.[/quote]

Lol this is a pretty deep analysis and I’m not sure about the triangle thing but… maybe?  I’m not sure it makes much difference.[/quote]
