I hope you know I wasn't being disrespectful.
It's just that I see it as a growing trend - allowing fear of dependence to guide treatment decisions - and I wonder how much Babble is a factor. But of course you have your own reasons to fear feeling too strongly for a therapist, and of course that feeling too strongly can also guide treatment decisions.
I think that spending some time evaluating what she does offer, and if what she offers is what you need right now (not even "want" so much, but "need"), is a wise decision.
It's rotten to start over with another therapist, but it's not so good to wasted time or money on one who isn't what you need to help you in your recovery.
I'm feeling so much better now than I used to. I'm finding that I'm more resilient and, for the most part, more able to put emotional excesses on my part in context of past experiences.
I just would like everyone to experience the same feeling that they are indeed accomplishing something. But on the other hand, it did take me ten years, and counting. :)
