To make counselling appointment

[Unintentionallycausingoffence]

I have self referred for counselling sessions for the second time in two years as I am having trouble coping with stressful life events. DH is also having trouble coping, his behaviour and attitude is having a detrimental effect on DS. I keep suggesting counselling but he says I know what my problems are I can self manage them but he can’t. AIBU to put in a referral for DH?

Counselling was a tremendous help to me a few years ago when I was struggling with panic attacks. Initially, my GP diagnosed me and prescribed antidepressants, which unfortunately exacerbated the symptoms. However, after enduring months of this, I sought out private counselling to address the root causes and develop effective coping strategies. Despite the expense, it proved invaluable, especially considering the long waiting lists in the public healthcare system that my GP had cautioned me about.

Totally unreasonable, it's up to him and therapy doesn't really work if the person isn't engaged with it

Yes, yabu. It is up to him. You can decide that you cannot be with him if he dies not address his issues, but you can't push him into therapy.
