Just wondered.

I think that our T's get sick of us from time to time, just like we get sick of them, but in general if they really cant stand us, they refer us out.
So if your t has not referred you out or suggested you need a different therapy, its probably you who wants to quit.
I know I have been accumulating a list of things my t has done or said that theoretically support the idea that she doesn't want to work with me.
But I know it isn't true and she is being very patient with me and my smart mouth and me flinging pillows at her head. I still want to leave therapy. But I know if I leave it will be because I wanted to and not because she pushed me out.
