You're right of course. Yalom rates right up there with Levenkron for looking great in print. :)
I don't think I'm asking for a magic solution. I think the problem may be more what Mair and others were talking about. After seven years, and resolving most of the push/pull intimacy and trust issues, in the absence of a crisis therapy can be a bit boring. I'd like to be a bit more proactive in the therapeutic work when I'm feeling good - push a bit more. Sometimes it seems like we're chatting. And I don't think I'm avoiding anything. When I ask about working on something, his answers aren't all that groundbreaking. Mostly stuff we've done before.
I think it's mostly seven year itch, when familiarity breeds a bit of boredom. Perhaps there is a stage past this. We'll see, I guess. There is a lot of change in the works in the therapeutic situation. Maybe that will shake things up a bit and get us past this stage.
