Do you mean you're in
therapy TOGETHER
or individually?

Individually, therapy
(with the right therapist),
can be ENORMOUSLY
VALUABLE. . . . . for
the TARGET of abuse. . .
NOT for the abuser.

If you're actually seeing
someone TOGETHER. . . . .

the you'll find the results
of that endeavor may not
be helpful for you, in either
the short or long-term.

I'll bump the thread on that.

it depends how much the relationship means to both of you. my husb went to therapy, made fools of all of them with his inasants, and had my character chalanged, won't go to therapy again, therapist are the most stupid people. My so called therapist told me I cut up my own coat (he did that)...it would be better talking to a good friend.

I agree with what Ilene said. Individual therapy helped me ENORMOUSLY. Joint therapy with my abuser was worse than useless.

you both have to want it, my husb just went in for the ride. as of rite now, I hate him..
