Sorry, Dinah, Daisy doesn't have to share her therapist... But I know what you mean.
>I think he was inches away from threatening me with termination.
I really doubt this. He might have been inches away from sending you to the hospital, but not terminating you.
I think that they believe that it dissipates the intensity if we tell them all the details. Makes the plan less magical. That the fact that it is a secret magnifies the plan somehow.
There was once when my therapist wanted to know my plan (actually my second plan, he knows my first one) but I wouldn't tell him. He was really pushy, even the next session. Finally I told him that I would be able to stop thinking about it if he let it drop, that the only reason it was still on my mind was because I was trying to figure out how to handle his questions. He let it go, but I'm sure that if I start feeling suicidal again that he will grill me again.
He doesn't want you to die - how would he pay his bills?? Just kidding!!! Just kidding!!!
