OurPath (formerly SSN) Open Forum / Looking for Professional Support in Vancouver BC

**Posted by mmoore** August 8, 2023 12:04 pm

Hello all, I am new to this forum, since only over a week ago my partner for the last 26 years disclosed to me that he is gay and has been exploring for the last 5 years and is in a relationship for a year now!! I am emotionally overwhelmed and am seeking recommended professional counselling support in the greater Vancouver area. I am interested in betrayal and infidelity Therapy. Any info about that or any other support you can think of is greatly appreciated.

Can't help in your area ... but definitely find a therapist you are comfortable with .. one experience with trauma. would be good. I had a general therapist....my first was very good...basically a normal person to talk to. Our spouses are anything but normal.

My general comment on this applies; we are in therapy, the kids are in therapy, the dog is therapy but they are happy and dont thing anything is wrong.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. My husband revealed his sexual attraction to men a few months ago. I found a therapist that was covered by my insurance plan. I don't think her experience mattered initially. I just needed someone to talk to. She reassured me that my emotions were normal under the circumstances. I saw her each week for a couple of months.
