My t and I have the same religion (Buddhist); it's one of the reasons why I chose her. But, we never talk about religion- or at least very rarely- so I find the idea of talking about god in a therapy session rather off putting. Especially all that preaching at you she is doing. Don't you go to church for that?

I agree with Hankster that- while I know you love your t and she clearly feels deeply for you- this is not a good therapeutic relationship. Actually, I have thought this for quite a while. I disagree with H that I don't' think you necessarily need a male t, you do just someone who will work with your thought processes and not dump all her cr@p all over you during your paid session.

Thanks for putting this out there, it's really interesting to get a peek into someone else's session. As always, I greatly admire the hard work and thought you put into your therapy.

As an aside, as a trained scientist (before I went into medicine) I think it's fine to pick things apart. Some people are "lumpers" and some people are "sorters". Neither is right and neither is wrong. You don't miss the forest for the trees, you just see trees. And flowers, and squirrels and blades of grease. The forest-lookers miss all that
