By way of comparison, I don't get to control how much I'm challenged by *Beowulf*. We just have to keep working on the edge, leaving safety behind (temporarily). I feel sad when you say you don't feel able to do that, and, really, I have a hard time believing it. You just seem too strong, and able to take care of yourself.
I guess I'll have to accept what you both say about the "people" part not being your strong suit. It certainly is very strong here on PB, but i know that's not the same as in real life. And I was probably way out of line about your work, because I don't even know what it is! I'm sorry!
This must be my evening to go out on limbs, because I'm wondering why, if you have some vague feelings of dissatisfaction, you don't have a consultation about these issues. You say you haven't had good experiences with other therapists in your area, but you COULD have a good experience; you can't know in advance. I feel sad when you say that you haven't had the experience of people changing; those expectations really are too low, I think.
