Does anyone have a good idea (preferably one with a linkable resource) how to convince my husband to go to counseling with me for treatment of a past history of spousal sexual abuse? My first marriage was sexually abusive, which has resulted in some pretty bad, uncontrollable episodes of hysteria during our arguments. I’ve been to counseling on my own, and he has gone with me to a couple of sessions, but he is reluctant to go to anymore. I would really like him to go with me so that he can learn the dynamics of abuse and why I react the way I do to our arguments, but I do not want him to feel pressured into going. I realize that I have a problem, but I would really like him to learn more about the subject; maybe it will result in a complete healing process for me. I also don’t want what I’m going through to sound to him like an excuse for my behavior. Any sexual abuse counselors or psychiatrists out there?
