> that's an amazing story. does it make you feel secure that he does that? (won't let you quit?). my therapist is so big on giving me as much power as possible in our relationship that if i say i am going to quit, she might call once to try to convince me not to but mostly she'll just say she respects my decision.
I think my T is very much like yours in general -- the first couple times I quit, he respected my autonomy and my decision while still leaving the door open. However, he came to realize that I quit during flooding and distress and that I come back only when on the verge of a major episode. I think he figured out the pattern and was afraid that I was always cutting it too close and making things worse by suffering alone.
