The most important thing in this case is simply to be honest with your boyfriend. I know you feel like you need his help or that he is going to become overly involved in your recovery, but let him know how you have been feeling. Acting like everything is normal around him when it is not, is probably going to damage your cause, I mean you must be around him so much.

Make sure you make it clear that your therapist is going to play the main role in your assistance. Say something like this: "I really appreciate you being there for me and helping me out, but right now, things probably aren't what they need to be. Being in therapy is huge, and it's only going to take a bit of time, for me to get back to where I need to be. When I get there, I'll have you to thank."

So acknowledge that it's not where it probably needs to be, acknowledge that it will, in time, and acknowledge his contribution. If he reacts undesirably, then that's not something that you can control anyways. What you can control is the pace of the interventions assisting your recovery, if you feel uncomfortable. That's the main thing, putting yourself and your recovery first and communicating to other parties, if they need to know that these things take time.
