Thanks for the insights. Dinah I have the same suspicion about how they think we need a by the book life complete with job, mate, friends, etc. I already went through what felt like a struggle to get her to accept that right now and for the forseeable future, I'm happier single than mated. Now I want to be unemployed and go against my doctor's med advice. It does sound like a lot to ask, to get behind all that. But dangit that's my path right now!
GJ, maybe I painted too negative a picture about the sessions, I'm doing these extra-long sessions at the end of the day (and paying by the minute), so when I say she ended early, it's still well past 50 minutes. It's just a change is all. And asking me to change my time to accommodate her conferences just bugs me. My regular appointment should be a commitment, dang it! I have complained, I'll complain some more.
Uuuurgh. I don't know if this is normal stuff, rocky patch, etc, or time to leave her. It gets tough when so many sessions are spent fighting her, and therapy seems to add upset to my life rather than resolve it. Or is fighting her part of my growth? Uuuurgh.
Thanks for listening all.
