Hello everyone,

Sorry, I am quite new here...I would just love some thoughts on this. I have been with my counsellor for nearly two years and...it's been wonderful but lately she has said how therapeutically change isn't happening. She's right; I feel that too. It's like something is blocking me; I can't really feel anything or bring any emotion into the sessions. We talk and talk but there is no big shift. She is always careful to assure me that she is not suggesting I stop coming, but that perhaps it is now more a crutch and she is happy to support me but there is "more" needed.
The thing is that she kindly did some research on residential facilities that she thinks would be helpful for me (depression, eating disorder) and there is one place. As much as she is giving me the information to think about and make any steps, I can see that she really thinks it would benefit me. Our last few sessions have gone in that direction. It's like something has shifted. Maybe it came up for her in supervision.
I'm not even sure what my question is now. I don't disagree with what she is saying and I can see that she is really wanting the best for me and that she cares and that's tremendous. I am trying to decide what to do next. I just wish somehow I could get to whatever is blocking me now...I feel she has done so much for me but I just can't take that crucial step...
