  How'd it go @hopefulmom81‌ ?

  @lildis09, it went REALLY REALLY well.  The therapist is the perfect person for us, I think.  

  
  

  I was surprised, DH talked a fair amount.  The therapist is really good at drawing him out and asking him direct questions.  The first session was just about laying the history of our relationship and bringing up some of our issues.  I think she was surprised that he and I were able to talk about our issues so clearly.  We have always been good at issue discussion, but horrible at changing behaviors and doing new routines and she said, "Well, that's good because I have A LOT of ideas for changing behaviors and new routines"  

  
  

  I can't promise it will cure us, but I think it really could help a lot.

  That's great! I hope it continues to go well. I want to warn you that it may go really well at first, then you might hit a wall a few sessions in. This happened to DH and I and our therapist said it's a pretty common pattern. Thankfully we are back to a good place now. Just wanted to give you a heads up; don't get discouraged if that happens, and keep at it! GL!

  Thank you for saying that!  I am totally the type that would hit a wall and be like, "THIS ISN'T WORKING!" so it is good to know to keep with it!!
