This particular therapist had treated my significant other to help her get past her divorce. She never did and every minute of the three sessions we attended I truly was made to feel that as the man in this relationship it was my fault that her previous divorce was still the 500 pound gorilla in the room. There was no mediation, no unemotional discussion, just simply more blaming me for all of her woes including the divorce that occurred 3 years before I ever met this lady. I do know that getting a sympathetic well trained neutral expert in relationships rather than individual therapy is the key to any possibility of salvaging the relationship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
