Hi All,
I met with her Monday night. Got sick Tuesday. Not so super this Tuesday. Anyway, it was a good idea to meet. She seemed to have a very deep understanding of why I wanted to see her again. I think it took her some time to cogitate on things. I called her on everything. And I told her I was highly ticked off. She wasn't defensive of the criticisms and mostly very excited to hear how mad I could get.
She explained that she finds me to be charming (kinda embarassed to hear it) which makes it hard for her sometimes to not get sucked into that. She said she struggles with really enjoying me and trying to help me. She said that her enjoying me so much isn't helpful to me. But on the other hand, it is helpful to have a good rapport.
We agreed on the issue at hand--it's a deep one--and I will see her for a time around it. But it's in my hands as to how often, etc.
We'll see how it goes. I am hopeful that this issue, once resolved, will resolve a lot for me--in my life and in my therapy.
Thanks again for everyone's support!
