In reply to Therapy time limitations?, posted by lauran on March 13, 2003, at 11:01:48
I told my therapist the other day that I didn't know how I could make it if he terminated me, then of course immediately regretted admitting that degree of dependence. Although since I previously requested that he hospitalize me when he terminated me (altho he forgot that whole conversation) it shouldn't have come as a shock to him.
He gave the "the dependence is only a needed step along the road to independence" so I started asking the "well, what if I never get over it" questions, and we did that whole little dance. Sigh.
The only way I can see leaving therapy without having my fingers pried from the door as they cart me screaming away is if I quit my high stress job and externally remove enough stress to avoid my meltdowns.
So if there's a time limit, please don't anyone tell me. :)
