almeda, I guess it's not unusual for an HMO to request a graduation date. It's so good your T has shared this with you so you can quit wondering. Now you have all the information about what has been going on. Did he tell you what date he gave them? He must hate this stuff as much as you do. (((hugs))) That's great you will soon be switching to a PPO that pays for unlimited sessions. That is very good indeed! I have insurance through 2 different PPOs and neither pays for unlimited sessions. One pays for 12/year and the other 20/year (but neither will reimburse for my T).

Wow, can't believe your T said "oh gosh tell him it would be a crime for me to sleep with you." Guess he is very direct!

Overall, it sounds like you had a good session. The assertive/aggressive distinction is always difficult. Sounds like you are making great progress!
