> Taking this month break (and counting) has been a wonderful way to be objective about my shrink or therapist's shortcomings. I agree with Mark that some transference has come in to play with my anger when my shrink talks about himself (although 50 minutes out of an hour IS a bit much), and also agree with the suggestion of being honest. I used to feel guilty about being depressed, especially when my shrink absolutely adored me when hypomanic (not manic), but I also realized I was not there to entertain but to get help. If it helps you to write out what's irritating you then by all means do so- your therapist can't read your mind. I wish you all the best- judy
