Thanks for the overview and for your personal experiences.
please correct me if I'm wrong
-object relations considers people etc as "objects" and focuses on our early formative relationships with important people in our lives. For example my relationship with my mother affects the way that I react to/with my academic advisor and my therapist-insights are one step, but the path to change is to take the insight and work with it to find more practical ways to implement this added knowledge and adjust the way we react to/interact with our world?
-I noticed that my T in Chicago (the one I saw for 8 mos) was much more explicit when I was in crisis, and also used the termination process to neatly sum up the things that we worked on during therapy together. Is this what you mean when you're talking about how your current T is pursuing a more active and intense course of therapy right now?
thanks for all that, you make a lot of sense, and continued finger-crossings that your memory improves.
