But perhaps getting all of these thoughts out on the table will help your therapy relationship be stronger and will help you start to break out of this pattern you have recognized in yourself. I am not sure going to a new T is going to help any more than working on these important issues with your current T would. Maybe it would... But have you given the current therapy a chance by telling T all the stuff you wrote above? I think this guy should hear that you think his using humor is a way to avoid going deep with you. And the rest.

Thanks so much Sunrise. I stayed up til 2 in the morning composing an email that told everything I wrote on PC about the whole analogy of the maze and all the stuff about the reflective mirror stuff... I knew it was a risk to be honest with him.... I knew it would probably take away the good feelings that I had from my last session...
This is his reply
There are several reasons to meet to discuss possible termination. While I won’t discuss issues specific to your case, I have included a link that I think does a fair job in discussing the process of ending therapy. I hope the article helps. I will hold the appointment for you until tomorrow. Take care.

It was formal and cold
... and now I am a case.
(although he has always said he won't do therapy via email but that I could email him because he knows it helps me process...but usually he says something positive )
