"It's a tough and controversial subject that most people don't want to discuss in any way because it makes them look like they justify abuse and/or are victim blamers." Yeah, wonder why.

tl;dr she went to a therapist to try and find out how to fix her life but was displeased when said therapist didn't only say things she wanted to hear

I didn't explain myself well and understand why it came across that way in my post but it's more complicated than that. I really liked my therapist and felt she was helping me with my anxiety but I wasn't interested in exploring or discussing the details of my marriage. I wasn't there because of issues with my husband, I was trying to deal with anxiety after my cousin/best friend died last year (she committed suicide and I had difficulty coping).

But telling your therapist that they must be completely closed off from commenting on one of the most fundamental details of your life -- your marriage -- and only talk about the things you want to talk about pretty much destroys their ability to help you thoroughly.

I would agree with you if my marriage was part of the problem but it isn't. I was looking for specific strategies for coping with grief and managing anxious thoughts.
