Hi gg, it has been helpful to hear a response more from the other side of the couch. It reminds me of the last time there was a really awful session which upset me. I went to the school guidance counselor to vent, and she helped to calm me down about the issue by suggesting there may have been something else behind what happened (for example, he may have been to a seminar - which I recently learned was the case) and reminding me that thus far he had been trustworthy. I think it could be that I'm so worried about turning 18, and maybe there's good reason - my province is really strapped for psychiatrists, so I could be in for a long wait if the referral process isn't as smooth as I might hope. (And then not all pdocs are good, most won't provide therapy, etc.) Definitely some of it is that now we're dealing with more important issues, which hasn't been the case for a long time - I wanted to keep things lighter for the last session before the break, too.
I think I'll have to ask him to tone it down a bit - because, while I can appreciate that it might be beneficial in the end, right now it might just be dangerous, and I might end up running away from it all anyway, in one way or another. And I'll nag him about bringing stuff in, of course. :) I can relate to the forgetfulness, because I do it myself all the time, and usually can tolerate it in others, but for some reason it just doesn't work that way in therapy.
