I'm not currently in therapy; I've found that, in the past, it really hurt more than it helped (too triggering), so I didn't even really consider it. However, therapy with my bf might be a whole different experience. We'd been considering pre-marital counseling anyways- not because we have any relationship problems, just because friends have said it was a good experience for them. Might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone, right?

However, money's pretty tight for us right now, but I'll research what options are availiable at least.
