When therapy spaces turn minority couples into educational resources

My wife and I are the only same-sex couple in our couples therapy group and every session feels like we have to translate our experience for everyone else while also working on our own relationship. The therapist keeps saying the group dynamic is 'rich with learning opportunities' but we're exhausted from being the teaching moment.
