As my therapist tells me, "Therapy is not jail. You are free to come and go as you please. Its up to you how far you want to go in your treatment."

I told her that this makes me angry when she says it like that. It makes me feel as if she is saying, "Come or don't come. Either way is fine with me. If you do, you do. If you don't, you don't." I told her that this makes me feel like she doesn't care one way or the other. She responded with, "I do feel that there are some things that would be beneficial for you to work on in therapy. I would like for you to continue to work on these things. But I cannot make that decision for you."
