Hoped for better: Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
Quite disappointed. The wife and I went to her for marital counselling because our conflict was getting awful.
Full disclosure: Before visiting her, I had been suppressing my emotions for years (because that's what my wife would demand) so I used to get upset easily in my sessions. * ***** *** ****** **** *********** ** ** ** ***** ************ ******* ** ****** ** ********** *** ****** ** ***** ** ******** ** ****
During the months we were having our counselling sessions, I was slapped hard multiple times by my wife and threatened to be kicked out of the house and my kids' lives (I am a stay-at-home dad who has been the main parent in my kids' lives). The doctor refused to take these concerns seriously and I was left helpless. She even laughed once and asked me why I am talking like a 'victim'. I am not an expert in psych. but I do feel being slapped hard by a spouse deserves more empathy, regardless of gender.
I requested the doc - at least mention to my wife that hitting is wrong and threatening is wrong. I don't understand the logic but the doctor told me it is NOT her job to tell my wife to stop threatening me. Instead she gave me advice which felt like I was responsible for her behaviour.
I also regret getting upset in her sessions because we clearly got off on a wrong foot and I don't think she liked me very much. But I had assumed that it's a safe space for me to finally express my emotions - and I assumed wrong. Our last session was unpleasant and both of us got annoyed with each other.
Even today, my wife continues to justify her hitting and threatening. And sometimes I wonder if things would have been different if the doctor had at least made a mention to her that this is not good behaviour.

I wish I had found Mrs Ruchi sooner, after wasting my time and money on other therapist, I was not sure if i would get the help I needed, but with Ruchi it was just a matter of some sessions, and i was in a better state of mind. I wish I could do anymore to thank her for being such a great therapist.
