Olivia - I too have spent the last 6 months "fighting" t against her saying i made no progress, and that we don't do therapy and that none of her tools seem to work. Like you and Rapunzel, I was devastated each time. T didn't know what to do with me, I couldn't stop sobbing. Some how we have passed that point. I'm not even sure how. But what Rapunzel wrote really helped me see some things too. I too was unready to make the changes needed - I didn't see a way possible. I didn't know when I would "turn that corner". ANd now, somehow I have. I didn't even see it. But I MADE her stick with me. I told her each time the progress I had seen, kept pushing her to see it, kept trying everything she suggested.... and now I AM progressing - not in therapy, per se, but in life. And I think we both believe that once I get settled in this particular setting, THEN maybe we can work towards therapy again. For now, she has deemed herself my "support person" and will keep seeing me. She knows that if she terminates, *I* will terminate. She, too, is my last hope and I think she gets what that means to me.
Olivia, I would say to push back - to get T to look at things more closely with you - what kind of progress she thinks you need, what progress you have seen, what might be some blocks in the way, push her to stick with you - like Rap said, maybe there's something in life that you need to learn that T can be there for.... best!
