Alex, I did kind of get the impression that he felt pressured to give them a term date. He said they demanded it. I'm glad he made it far in the future but part of me was sad about it.

It's also confusing to me because he does have long-term patients and I kind of felt like he doesn't want me to be one of them. He was very excited about me changing insurances two sessions ago. This recent session he didn't say too much but he did confirm that a PPO is much better. I asked him if he thinks they'll leave us alone and he said probably.

I like that your therapist was like 'don't worry we'll handle it'. I really didn't get that feeling from mine. He did say 'we'll fight for you' two sessions ago but also said in the same session that he thinks it is appropriate to talk about reducing sessions. I was so close to crying at that point.

I hate that we are focusing on this. It's having an impact on me. How can I trust him more when I feel like I'm not supposed to be there? I think after Tuesday's session, I'll tell him I'll go to every other week. I feel awkward going weekly now and don't want him to initiate it or the insurance company.

So hard as it will be, I'm guessing I should do that...
