Thanks Rainbow.

She's just being a bit hard on me right now. Because for the past couple of years (since my divorce), I've been seeing her just a few times a year, and it's been just hand-holding -- just maintaining the connection. I didn't want to do therapy, and she said she would be there for me in whatever way I wanted.

So in April I told her I was ready to do actual therapy. (That's when we started this 2 hours twice a month thing.) And she has taken me at my word -- she's definitely pushing me. But I more or less told her she could, and if it goes too far, I will just tell her I don't want to do it any more.

Anyhow it's all just for talking about. (Because if she asks me to do something and I don't, then she doesn't get mad, she just wants to talk about why.) (Either way, she'll want to talk about it: if I do, if I don't.)

There were caretakers that I could not count on. But she says not everybody is that way. She's trying to give me practice in thinking a different way. Not just not calling her, but somehow getting to a place where I don't need to call her.

So, I'll try it. We'll see.

I'm glad your new therapist seems to be working out so well.

Take care,
