I guess I don't see it as the client fighting the therapist over change in general - but for me, I need to see that the change is not going to put me in a worse place than now, what that change is going to cost and if I (NOT the therapist) believe the cost of the change is worth it for ME. I may find that a change in some area is worth it, I may decide it is not. I actually do consider things, but the decision is mine and the time it takes me to decide is mine.

That one therapist has compared me to a cornered wounded wild animal.
