You're absolutely right on two counts, Dinah. It is a good time to step back and assess where I want my therapy to go. And that would be the ideal. I'm still feeling totally avoidant at the moment, though.
We do talk a lot about my husband. Less about my dissertation, but I haven't hit a desperation phase with that yet. The discussions about my husband have been difficult, probably because it's a difficult situation (when isn't it?). I think my therapist has been helpful to the extent that I allow her to be, if that makes sense. I blank out a lot about what we discuss during therapy. Maybe that's more avoidance, maybe it's something else.
That's a really good question about whether I think she has more to offer. What a difficult question to answer. It's kind of hard for me to be objective about it, because I feel so attached. I've been thinking more and more about the money recently, though. My insurance changed at the beginning of the year, and since then, what I pay for therapy has increased significantly. Maybe a part of me is wondering whether I'm actually getting my money's worth.
