There may be a variety of reasons your partner is seeking counselling and it would be beneficial to explore the possible underlying motivations for them wanting to continue seeing their therapist. It's also important to assess the severity of the impact that seeing their therapist has had on your relationship. Ultimately, it's their choice but being sensitive towards their needs and expressing openly how you feel can help create an environment in which they are more receptive to discussing how they can balance both aspects of their life with greater harmony.

The first step to having the conversation is to assess how open your partner is about their therapy sessions. If they are guarded or resistant, it may be harder to convince them, but it is still worth trying. You can start by recognizing the positive growth that your partner has achieved through therapy and emphasizing that you wish for them to focus their energies and resources on developing stronger bonds with you and other close relationships. Communication is also important – discussing potential solutions such as setting boundaries related to time spent talking through difficult matters would help. Ultimately, only your partner will be able to decide whether or not they want to continue seeing a therapist; however, you can provide supportive understanding while maintaining good communication at all times.
