You could say something like..I understand..I have felt that way many times myself. Then listen, listen, listen and let MC direct the session. Your H may take some time to loosen up and feel comfortable if he is WAY out of his comfort zone. Give him time. It will take time. My H and I never got to MC..so your H is taking a big step here. Give him credit, it may not turn out exactly as you hope, so leave your expectations at the door. Good luck Reb.
