Hi there!
My husband and I started seeing a family therapist a few months ago to help us get through an extremely rough patch that involved my mom. She also attended a session with us. After we worked on that some, the sessions rather quickly morphed into strictly couple’s therapy. Neither of us had a problem with this although my husband does get a little hesitant about going sometimes. Maybe I feel it is more beneficial than he does? We've discussed it, though, and we both view it as a kind of “maintenance” for our relationship.
Anyway, because my husband travels some, we’ve cut the visits down to one ever three weeks to a month. Our therapist just called and said she could only get us in at a time that is fairly late in the evening and it would be difficult for us to get a sitter for our son. The only other option she has given us is one hour earlier but on a Friday. Perhaps even more difficult to get a sitter.
I’m not sure what to do. We both like her, but I don’t know that either of us is attached. Getting a new couple’s therapist (maybe closer to home, as well) would mean telling our "story" all over again *and* convincing my husband that the switch is worth it.
I’m really not sure what I should do. Any thoughts or advice for me? BTW, it might also help you to know that it took me over six months to decide to leave a hairstylist of mine that was really inconvenient for me to get to and two years later, I have yet to find one half as good :(.
Thanks everyone!
