Dinah - I'm sorry. I responded to you earlier today but I must have hit the wrong button.
Your post was so on point. I do feel pretty unsettled about everything that's happened and the therapeutic relationship isn't feeling very stable at the moment. At the beginning of the year, I was feeling like I needed to take a break from therapy and I started having that conversation with my T. Then I began to slide(even before my pdoc's husband's death), and it clearly wasn't the right time for me to talk about quiting or scaling back. I like it when I can feel that my T is taking care of me, and then I hate it when she expresses all of her strong reservations about having me even start coming a little less. I recoil from the notion that I need to be therapy-dependent. Life ought to be simpler.
BTW - my daughter had a great time in your fair city. And, much to my surprise, it sounds like she actually did a few things that didn't involve parties and alcohol.
Thank you
mair
