Hi Madison, thanks for your input.

I wasn't clear in my first post. She's not purely freudian, I don't think. She's very firm on the point of ME having to change, of ME taking responsibility for my part in the past and being absolutely proactive for my role in the future.
>they don't drag issues out.this one isn't, either, as far as I can tell. Her approach is one session per month, for three or four months. That worked for DH's stuff, which wasn't small. Sounds like snake oil, but she's intense, and he really needed at least three weeks to process each session, implement her advice and do his homework.
> stay focused and clear on what the goals are.Thanks. Getting a job is part of getting free from my parents ... my goal in this therapy is to get a bloody job and get off on the right foot in it. I'm going to find a job coach once I have a job (most likely in another city), since issues repeatedly come up in work situations, that I just need to deal with.
