My boyfriend and I both think we could benefit from individual and couples counseling; however, he can't get past the social stigma of going to counseling. I understand his point, and I know he wants to work on things for himself, for me, and for us, but I know how a stigma can keep anyone from doing what could be best.
How can I help him get past the stigma? He's open to it, so I'm looking for practical suggestions.
And yes, I know that if he really wants to work on it; nothing will stand in his way. I know he has to be ready. At the same time, I know that showing him how inaccurate the stigma is will help him be ready . . . if that makes sense (he's told me as much anyway).
