He wants "himself" not me....

[Young at Heart]

Well I hope that she and her husband have either locked themselves in the bedroom all day or that everything is OK.

Seriously, I would expect the sex therapist to have started slowly and challenged each of them as to what their goals are for therapy as well as pointing out some things that each could work on.

Having been there, I would also suspect that there is a desire for a quick fix and the slow realization that it will likely take several months to see noticable changes in the relationship.

I still feel that the two of them going together (assuming it happened) was a very positive start.

I know that therapy rubed my wife emotionally raw after most sessions. To the point that she really needed time to self soothe and come down. Most of the times she would cry on the car ride home from therapy and wanted to stop prior to getting home to go to a restaurant so she would have more time to compose herself. It was really hard on her and she felt really stretched. I to at times felt emotionally stretched by the sex therapist. So I would expect both CW and her husband will have some stress after their first session.

Hopefully, CW will also both get the big picture and understand that while it will take a while, things should get better if she and her husband both commit to the process and working through things.

I wish CW luck on her therapy session yesterday.
