I was sober 14 yrs before i finally addressed my chemical imbalance. I was refered to a Theraphist and my husband & I both went together. Ok, im the one with the problem. Anxiety....and all the things u spoke of in ur share. It does take me awhile to open up to people. I think it was a trust issue....anyway....she asked me questions similar to u and then my husband jumped in....in fact several of those sessions i felt like i wasnt even in the room. The lady therephyst was sooooo interested in my husband career and his problems more so than mine. HOW RUDE..! lol PISSED ME OFF THO. : )

She did however say something that would make me just go to my general physician and talk to him about it....and from there i finally got the right solution for my anxiety. It did take about a yr to get what would work with my system and today a yr later im more at ease to live life better in recovery.

However....im sure both my spouse and I could use more counciling.....but separate. With a 24 yr marriage and 15 yrs living with a recovering alcoholic.....we could still use some help communicating. : )

Anyway....seeing another therephist would be a good suggestion....

I had thought originally that seeing a women specialist would be the right way to go because it takes a women to understand a women.....hmmmm..i dont know about that sometimes.....I have trust issues with women....i think my next time i will seek a male therephist instead of a woman.

Thanks for letting me share.
