Sometimes I feel my T. is short but I've always thought she wanted me to talk more about it. For example, instead of just saying it's hard to keep you in therapy, tell him WHY you feel that way. Also, did you get the books I mentioned? They will give you a lot of insight.

I have a habit of spitting something out (especially if it's difficult) and then waiting for T's response. But, I don't think she knows exactly what to say because I'm not telling her what I'm thinking - reasons I want to quit, that I want her to encourage me to keep coming, that maybe I'm going to quit so she can't abandon me, etc.

So, maybe next time you can revisit it and even tell him you were hoping he would say more. Give him all the reasons you find therapy difficult and want to leave and then see if you get more of an answer?
