Last week I would have sort of been there myself. I think when you can have the therapy conversations in your head, and feel sort of bored in sessions, and can think of better ways to spend your time and money, it might be time to assess where you are and if you're staying just because you care about your therapist.
Or that's what I tell myself anyway.
Then I got all panicked at the thought of losing him so I figure I'm not quite there yet.
I think in some ways there does come a time when it's as good as it's going to get. At least at any given moment. Added stressors might mean a tune up is in order. But I doubt anyone ever becomes *all* better.
But...
I also think that for some people (not necessarily you), it helps with daily functioning to have the place to go and release energy before it builds up and explodes and therapy can be maintenance oriented to that goal.
On the other hand, you sound sort of angry with him for his response. Did you start feeling like it was time to leave after he didn't respond well to your email?
