I did it. I made the decision over the weekend, and I did it today.
Guess what? It is such a profound relief! I feel so much better!
(I'll be starting up again elsewhere in a few weeks. I don't want to go straight to it, because I really feel the need to detox first so that I don't go in there so prickly and defensive and so on. But I {ahem} *trust* our marriage counselor, and she's assigning me to one of the therapists she supervises -- and you know what? I *trust* that she's made a good decision for me, I *trust* that she picked someone based on *my* needs, I *trust* that she's picked out someone who will work well with me. And you know what that all means? It means that I am *not* incapable of trust. And you know what *that* means? It means that, if I have no trust whatsoever for a therapist, it doesn't necessarily mean that I've failed. It might just mean that I'm not working with a therapist I find trustworthy!)
Wanna hear a real kicker, though? Once I made the decision to quit, my husband and I started getting along a lot better... Go figure...
