To your question, my W has expressed that MC was really tough on her. Some of it was the session, but a lot of it was me revisiting some of the topics afterwards - before I discovered DB.
I mentioned IC to her recently, because she is has expressed extreme stress right now, with her new job (and I assume the stress of the D initiation). She also brought up IC for her last month (old post of mine) when she saw the visa bill for me booking 6 more sessions with my DB coach. Even though we have the $, she thought that it was "a lot of money" and that she could use to see an IC, but didn't want to spend the money. I know money is a stressor to her right now, preparing for the D, and I have tried not to spend much, but my DB coach is a a needed "luxury" for me these days.
