Antigua, well it bothers me that first he said you would talk about something that bothered you and then you didnt. Not the part about having to be reminded I get that. Alot of therapees etc. but once reminded what not talk about it. Then the past issue. I really don't get that. I know that they want to move us on because we all might dwell in the past too long but you clearly have a past issue that needs to be dealt with. He reminds you of your father and your father affected you in the past and is that going to inhibit the future so that needs to be talked about IMHO. Now I know you had a great discussion on the book. But was that the right time. Did he lead the discussion of this therapy session or did he allow you too. That is what is fundamentally bothering me I guess. It just sounds like he had a big agenda and it is ok if you need to move forward but the part about your father and his role seems big to me and too big to ignore. I still don't think he wants to hurt you but in being open and wanting to help he needs to allow things to go deep if you need them too. I don't know if I am still able to articulate this well. Just something bothered me about the statement the past is the past and the future is the future. Because that isn't true for most of us. The past is still haunting us. Does this make any sense. Anyway, I do hope you feel better and if I am just rambling ignore me. Take care. rk
