Hey Kel, I'm just wondering if you discussed your reasons for stopping therapy with your therapist. I don't know, but it seems to me that mucking around, telling you to stop and relax, and normalizing your problem could have been an attempt to put you at ease and help you to stop worrying as much, and maybe the plan was to help you generalize that to your GAD. But if you felt like it wasn't helping, talking to the therapist can let them know that they need to take a different approach, or give them a chance to explain how the strategy they are using is therapeutic and how they selected it for you. She might also be able to make a good referral for you based on what you need, and a good therapist should be willing and able to do that. You wouldn't be any worse off for asking her, would you?
