> I know how she is sort of a surrogate mother to you. A source of stability in your life.Thanks Dinah. I know you understand. She is like a mom to me. I grew up around her.

> I'm also in a somewhat similar situation with my therapist right now, and I understand that feeling ok and calm about something can go alongside feeling really bad about it. It must be especially bad because she's not really giving you a choice.How are things with your therapist going? Have you stopped all contact?

> But she's not cutting off communication with you either, even tho she's really supposed to be seeing students only. She's not rejecting you.I said that I would miss her and then she said she would miss me too. Yeah, she's not rejecting me. I'm still on meds anyways, I'm not sure she can just abandon me.

> Maybe you can think of this as the teenage stage of the therapeutic relationship. You won't be in her direct control as much, but she's there keeping an eye on you while you try your wings. Can you feel your internalized pdoc? Can you think what she would say on situations you confront? She's a very sensible person, it seems like.I thinking of that too. It's sort of like leaving the nest. Maybe pdoc wants me to get out and become independent.

> I know your last foray into therapists didn't go very well. Do you think you'd have a wider range of choice if you tried again? Not that they're washing machines. You can't replace your pdoc.

> I hate change. I'm sorry it's being forced on you.I really don't want a T who's not pdoc. It's just not the same.
