What is the difference between counselling and therapy?
My husband and I are having problems.
My husband has issues regarding sex, all of which stem from his self esteem, his poor body image, stress, and a horribly stressful time in his teens which has never been adressed, particularly not by his family who are very 'stiff upper lip'.
He thought he was fine and over it, but now in his 40s it is all coming out and really having a devastating effect on our relationship.
He has suggested couples counselling. I have agreed to this, but also wonder if he needs space to himself to sort some things out. Maybe even before we try couple's counselling.
Shall I suggest this to him? Anyone with experience?
