I normally look forward to my sessions too. Sometimes, though, things can happen in any relationship to make some days and weeks or even months worse than others. The longer term you stay in therapy, the more likely something like that is to occur between you and your therapist. I've had times like that too - misunderstandings and even some really nasty things simply because life happens to us all, therapist or not Sometimes it's difficult to maintain all that benevolence going, but my therapist has for the most part and I am grateful, even if on occasion I may dread how a certain interaction leaves me feeling and having to return and deal with it next week. That's actually an important part of therapy, I think - dealing with it even when it's not all rainbows and butterflies.

On another note, I really do like therapy. If I didn't and if it weren't helping me, I would stop going.
