In the past for me I had the following...

1. Therapy is about me.... No matter what happens with T ...it is really my reaction to T...still about me ...and i was not going to deflect stuff by trying to turn it into a T thing (this did not preclude me from saying this T can not help me...time to find another..it actually helped me)

2. Whenever I felt something odd going on between me and T...I wanted to discuss it and not mindread...

3. No quitting unless in person with ending sessions....once you figure the T and you are good fit...

This is what I strive for...but I'm not perfect..

Soup, have you ever been able to really talk about the feelings behind the "I'm quitting"...my xT and I (who I used to do the same thing to) neever could discuss it outright....
