So, I guess, with that vision, 50 minutes is plenty of time. I can't help but continue to rebel. (Temper tantrum anyone?)
I think you are very right here - we do have to do the work. I think though when we really accept that its not the therapist's responsibility it reduces anger that people get towards their therapist for them not doing what they want all the time (if that makes sense?).

I still dont think 50minutes is enough though for me anyway. xxx
Thanks for this!
