Idk - this feels to me like trying to get closure from the wizard of oz. As long as youre in treatment, you suspend disbelief, and you let the t be your parent, or do whatever it takes to fool your brain into changing. But once youve peeked behind the curtain - whats the point? A diploma, a ticking heart, a badge of courage? Im sorry, i really dont like her a) ccing the PA on correspondence without your prior permission and 2. Making a point of mentioning shes making an exception to see you. I would find that so hurtful for myself. Idk, isnt it hostile? Either she should do it and shut up about it, or she shouldnt do it. Does she mean to imply youre forcing her somehow? What is the exception? For a closure type session at all? Maybe the point is, yes you still havd work to do; this isnt a clean ending. Do you need her to tell you that? Are you wondering if you should start up again right away? Its summer, i would take a break. Everybody will be on vacation anyway. Anyway, good luck!
