Attending therapy and engaging in therapy are two different things and it's important to understand this. My wife and I have attended therapy where she could be vulnerable and open up; however, even after numerous sessions I could do neither. I could sense both my wife's and therapists frustrations. The therapist would ask open questions and I would always response with a closed response. Even after months of therapy I couldn't or wouldn't drop my guard...I don't know which...maybe both I suspect. My wife continues to go to therapy but I've stopped going. This seems to work ok for us even though I never discuss my emotions or feelings; I don't even reflect on these internally. Never have never will.
