I have been attempting to deal with my dependence myself and, while my intentions were good, I'm not at all sure I have been going about it the right way. I have been searching the archives here and also the internet for stories of bad therapists or therapists who terminated their clients abruptly.
I really do think it's unwise to be too dependent on a paid professional, and that it is a good idea to root out that dependence and dispose of it at once. On the other hand, my efforts are working to some extent - I do feel less safe with him, yet I am feeling pretty rotten in general. The depression is definitely getting worse. I think I have a nasty habit of trying to deal with emotional issues in a too pragmatic way.
Just venting.
