Default Re: Betrayal and depression??

I'm wondering from what you said whether the counselor has jumped ahead a little too far. But it is hard to say from the post. Rather than assuming Love, did the counselor first explore what feelings/ emotions were present? I expect Love is there but perhaps there are others as well and there is sense in hearing about these. In couples counseling, it is very easy to get caught up in The Blame Game. Blame loves hanging around couples counseling. Part of a therapists role is to try to keep Blame out of the sessions. Perhaps that is one place to ask your counselor to start, addressing the Blame in the relationship and in the room.
