Dinah - I think in shrinkdom, the more well formulated the plan, the more likely it is to be implemented. If you had revealed the plan, in detail, I think he would have asked you questions to figure out whether you've taken any steps under the plan.
And I'm with Falls - there's no way your T wants to terminate you over this - although I certainly understand your concern. I used to worry about this alot also, thinking my T would want to drop me as a patient because I had just gotten to be too much trouble.
And seriously, Dinah, isn't one thing that's so attractive about Daisy's T is the level of his personal concern? Maybe you need to look at your T's questions as a reflection of his level of concern.
A few years ago, I never gave my T much thought when I started obsessing about suicide. I just couldn't conjure up an image of her caring. Now she intrudes alot when I think about killing myself. Sometimes it's an annoyance that I have to think of her, in addition to sorting out what this would mean to my family. Of course, when I'm feeling better I'm happy that there's another barrier to acting impulsively.
