>>>IMO, that's denying and minimizing the very real relationship (albeit a boundaried one) that you've built up in the years you've been together.<<<
I think I used those exact words on Friday, that I feel minimized. And I added "sterilize" --- she is getting so clinical on me.
Between my relationship with my husband and the lost of health insurance, both issues that I needed her support and/or shoulder to cry on, I received complete "acceptance" regarding dropping a weekly session and denial regarding my marriage.
Since I last wrote, I have since contacted my husband's benefits department and believe it or not, they do have private insurance (called "wrap around insurance") that kicks in once the regular PPO depletes itself. It's all good, and they will pay for 60% of each session BUT they only write checks once each quarter. So I am going 'almost' 3 times a week --- she is on vacation part of next week and the week following and off altogether the week between Christmas and New Year's.
Your point resonates with me. I'll tuck your thoughts away and discuss them with her on Monday. As you know, she is very important to me and an excellent therapist IMO.I go into each session hopeful we will work this out and I find that we are taking baby steps towards this goal. Thank you!
