I know you and Dinah were talking about the certainty issue. I agree that it is very hard to be in therapy week to week--something good happens one week and you think all is great, something happens the next week to make you feel less important in your therapist's eyes...but I do believe that when it comes down to it, most therapists really do genuinely care about their clients (money or not, as emmanuel says) and want to see them healthy, want to know that they can come back if they need to. I hope brokenpuppet that in the past few days you have come to some peace with the good things that your therapist said. I think it is part of these disorders that we all have trouble accepting compliments or accepting the good things about ourselves and our relationships. Perhaps it is good practice to have to struggle with accepting the good things our Ts say?
Hang in there! ((brokenpuppet))
