I think I'd like the story better if it weren't for the usual context with my therapist. He generally uses it with regard to our relationship.
But I think there's some truth in it. Change happens and it's not always apparent whether it's for the good or the bad.
Even the worst ruptures in therapy *can*, with commitment and a therapist's skill, lead to a deeper and richer therapeutic relationship. But as I always tell my therapist, changes generally involve a loss. I think that I often mourn the loss more than I enjoy the change. For me, to an extraordinary degree, I prefer the uncomplicated relationship of young child having trust in and security from the invulnerable parent, even when that involves pain.
