My wife has been wanting therapy for us. Not a terrible marriage, she just wants someone to share with, her social interaction is super limited. Her social circle is toxic and sahm doesn't lead to rich social interaction. I struggle to see the value of therapy. What do we hope to achieve. She can go but I've not seen a convincing argument to separate me from my cash. From my perspective almost every therapist I've known by definition has been soft biased from my perspective where "everyone is right, everyone's opinion is valued" I've not reached a point in my personal development where I would every agree with that as a blanket statement. Not everyone is right, and opinions are that, you have one and you have a right to have one. It can still be wrong and invalid.

How do you approach a client like me?

I think for me is I don't see the benefit. Functionally that's what I was asking. Not to be disrespectful or belittling it's about how do you help clients like me see the value. What I took away, is that beyond supporting my wife which I told her I would go for her: I need to have my own goals that I think therapy can help me with. Absent those, I may not get much.

Your probably right, our communication is fairly solid. But I travel a lot, and I'm not much of social talker, I get super irritated talking about other people who aren't important to me, or about what some other kids parents did at the game that was inappropriate, etc etc.
