That's funny "therapy is just like any other relationship".
He does think I can see him when/if I need to after termination.
I don't want to terminate suddenly. I don't even want a "last session" and he seems to agree. We are tapering off very nicely, and I don't have an argument with him about the time we are taking to terminate.
But you're right that I need to talk to him about his "technique". In the letter I wrote him I said that his technique was painful and it has to change. When he called me, he seemed reluctant to consider that, but he can't possibly be serious. He must listen to reason. The question I have is will I be able to reason with him?
I think it's my actions, not my feelings that may be what he is objecting to. What do I do with these feelings that are so horribly strong when he just looks at me like a fish, blowing bubbles? When he doesn't look at me kindly and say, what's this about?
Sh*t.
