We're clearly not alone. :)<br /><br />At any rate, I'm glad you connected with it.christine zoe palauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059799678739162859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10610872.post-82509894955767637812011-06-16T13:25:16.979-07:002011-06-16T13:25:16.979-07:00Hello Christine,

You know... it never ceases to amaze me how "timeless" words are... and "the work" that happens "within them".<br />Considering this was written over 5 years ago, I want you to know that it spoke exactly to where I am today - years ahead... <br />So "thank you" for taking the time to post this.<br /><br />Enjoy.<br />-ChanaChanahttp://www.foresomething.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10610872.post-1107555278678953952005-02-04T14:14:00.000-08:002005-02-04T14:14:00.000-08:00Well, Wells, I'm happy to say that I just broke up...Well, Wells, I'm happy to say that I just broke up with my therapist-- and as far as I know--my sanity is still intact. It wasn't so bad afterall. In fact, she was pleased with my progress and glad to bid me a fond farewell. <br /><br />As for the balls, I think my life has been going quite nicely without them.<br /><br />Anyway thanks for your comments; I think this blog will be my new form of therapy.christine zoe palauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059799678739162859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10610872.post-1107553928807496592005-02-04T13:52:00.000-08:002005-02-04T13:52:00.000-08:00It is an interesting situation you have got yourse...It is an interesting situation you have got yourself in. Your a little unclear about why exactly you want to discontinue your sessions with your tharapist. You kept returning to the grad school issue. I think that if you feel that you are not gaining anything from your time you shouldn't continue to pay this person to sit and talk to you or even worse to sit and listen to you. Actually sometimes it would be nice to have someone just sit and listen. I think you should sit down and think about (maybe even write down so you don't forget) all the reasons why you would leave your tharapist. And all the reasons why you might stay with her. Maybe it would be good to shorten your visits to twice a month again and then go from there. I have mixed feelings about therapists. Sometimes I think they blow things up a little to keep you confused about yourself so that you will feel dependant. The do need to make a living off of this anyway. Just think to yourself...do I really like spending money to listen to her advice? If you don't have any overwhelming issues then I don't think you should continue. If you are just worried about the confrontation all you have to remember is that after you tell her that you are discontinuing her services that you will never have to see her again. Unless you live in some small town or something. If you have a spouse you could tell her that you hubby wants to start doing therapy together with "his therapist" which of course he doesn't have. Anyway grow some balls and let her know how you feel.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433686159299820098noreply@blogger.com
