New Here
My husband will be starting counseling soon (tomorrow's appointment is cancelled because of the snow :tdown:). Tomorrow was supposed to be his first session. He met with a Behavioral Health specialist before and broke down in her office when he brought up his past and how his best friend committed suicide (combat PTSD veteran, too). I am trying to prepare for what to expect afterwards. He has always pretty much kept his issues/emotions bottled up inside. He suppresses them and withdraws from me and our boys (6 and 2) and spends almost all day/night on the Xbox. Anything I can do on my end to help him afterwards? Just give him space? We seem to be in a good rhythm lately, but its at the expense of him keeping everything inside so I am just preparing myself for rocky times when he opens up to the person.
