Okay, I can relate to this from a personal point of view. My therapist switched offices a year into our relationship . ... I can't say that I trusted her too much then and I sure as hell didn't feel too much connection to her "office". She moved one door down to a bigger officer with more open space and more windows. I GET it that she liked it more, but I HATED it! It was big and impersonal in my book. But I sure as hell wasn't going to let her know that about me I pretended that everything was just fine and nothing had "changed" in my book. What a sacrifice in my book! What a missed opportuinity! I believe now, three years later that I would have grown so much more if I had been able to talk about this move with her . . . .about how it affected me. . . how much I didn't want it to effect me. How sad.

Sorry Stormy Angels, but I think your therapist is right on... Not in the sense that she gets to tell you how YOU feel. But you have to tap into the feelings. Really recognize and embrace how hard change is. If you don't "accept" or "acclimate" yourself to the new site, then you don't have to do any work. You can just concentrate on how "off" or "wrong" your therapist is.

What if you were to look at how off things are for you? I mean really say to your alters that it's "okay, gang" we're not going to commit to this stupid, no good, piece of s*i* place! We're goin to go home and just do what we need to do to survie!" What would you answer? Would things be okay? would you still be able to listen to your inner self? If so, then you're doing what you need to do.
