It has been a few weeks since I last posted, so I thought I'd bring you all up to date.
My wife's first therapy session was on August 5th. Of course, the first few sessions are just collecting background information. i asked my wife how things went, and she got very defensive, and reminded me of a promise I had forgotten about where I told her I wasn't going to ask about her sessions. I told her I would wait until she told me.
So, I'll wait.
Her T thought her case important enough to schedule her again immediately, and she is meeting her on Wednesdays. Today would have been her third session. She hasn't told me how it went. I'm guessing it's still collecting background. She told me the two previous were just about the events of the last two years, and haven't even touched on the trauma of her childhood.
Because our daughter is going to the State Fair with a friend tomorrow, I'm taking the afternoon off to watch our son. I asked her if she wanted to meet for lunch, and where I was hoping for a "Sure! That sounds good." I got "Um, I don't know. I will have to see how the next couple of days go." Sounded like an excuse to me, so I cancelled. I realize that I'm pushing her, and the time is not right yet. She hasn't even started the EMDR yet, much less deal with all the events, much MUCH less want to work on our relationship.
Other than that, not much has changed.
From my perspective, its all a waiting game.
