Hey!

My husband is struggling with finding purpose in life. I want to give him some good books to help him. Here's the catch, it can't be an obvious "self help frofru thing". He is very critical of self help and mindfulness. I want to recommend books that are like hiding vegetables in your dinner, subtle and subliminal.

My husband and I are going to try counseling before making any permanent decisions. I am in individual therapy, but have never been to couples counseling before. I have pretty serious anxiety, especially around unknowns, and just want to know what to expect. What was your experience, especially that first appointment?
