The therapy situation infuriates me. Who but someone wealthy can afford therapy? It's no wonder that the traditional stereotype of the therapy patient is a 'normal neurotic'. Most of us who live with mental illness cannot function well enough to afford therapy the way it should be provided: a therapist the patient chooses and years of therapy 1 to 2 times per week.

nicoleflynn is correct. Your therapist was negligent in dismissing you from therapy for his purposes. If I were in your shoes I wouldn't continue to see him, even if I could afford to do so.

Congratulations on the work you've done thus far! Now, let's hope you can find a new and better therapy situation.
