I love my T and think she is great; however, lately she has really really been focusing on my drinking and on me taking meds.

The background is that T really thinks my T drinking is a problem and I do not. In session today we probably spent half the time arguing about my drinking today. She even went so far as to say that a big part of the reason my co-worker wants me to get hired permanently (I'm currently serving an AmeriCorps term) is because she can have a drinking buddy, which I KNOW is not true (my co-worker is very well respected in the community and in the job and would not recommend me unless she thought I was competent), and is also pretty offensive to me.

Also, T got me into this residency program at the university she teaches at, so I can see a p-doc without paying money. SO the guy I see prescribed some Zoloft for me, but I really don't want to take it. So far I've only taken half a pill last week and that was it.

So T really, really wants me to stop drinking and start taking the pills, whereas for me, I feel that she is trying to get me to do something I just do not want to do. And she pushes and pushes it every session with increasing force. I love my T but I feel that the only way I am going to change is if I want to change, and I do not see my drinking and not taking pills as a problem. I don't know what to do because I don't want to put up with T forcing this issue every session, which is what it has turned into. She told me she is going to keep pushing it and talking about it until I change, but I don't see a reason to change and would maybe even resent her for trying to push something on me that I don't want. Any advice would be appreciated.
