I've been bored for a while now. Did she have any suggestions on how to use therapy when you're doing well? Because I can't really see what you *can* do with it when you're feeling ok.
Not that I'd say with a straight face that I'm doing well. But my doing badly is purely environmental at this point, and the only cure is to muster my courage to change my environment. My therapist is no help whatsoever with this, since he opposes major change in those areas.
I have this long history of making major changes in what appears to be an impulsive manner. But it's not as impulsive as it seems. Since I oppose change in general, the forces for change build up slowly and subtly until in time I have the "sudden" enlightenment that something is the right thing to do at this time.
I understand wondering if there isn't a built in deterrant to getting better in that in getting better you lose this person who is so important to you. My therapist saw this and gave me permission to see him for as long as I wished whether or not I got better.
