I've recently started up therapy after a 2 month long break. I'm glad to be back and ready to work on myself more. Prior to the break, my therapist whom I trust deeply suggested that I try out a clinic for anxiety and depression, and I most recently decided to commit to a program there (6-7 weeks). She believes I’m struggling in our therapy right now (with good reason as I know I had been stalling and half-assing therapy hw) and I’m starting to believe I need an extra push at this time too now. Thing is is that I trust this woman and I want to ultimately stay in therapy with her, I am doing this program for me, but also in part to prove that I am serious about therapy + am willing to make a couple important changes, so I can start progressing again with my T when I return 
I realize I became headstrong about certain things like medication, but I’ve realized I truly need it at this point in my process since my depression is a beast lately and since my anxiety stems biologically. Looking back I think I acted out and didn’t need to take such a defensive position. She had only been trying to be helpful, I was too busy trying to make my point talk therapy doesn’t depend on medication. (Which it doesn’t, but it wasn’t necessary).
What I am saying, is that my perspective has changed and the last thing I want her to think is that we can’t continue because it would be useless or something. I believe in my heart of hearts that isn’t true. My question is do you think taking her suggestion and showing her I’m going to do the program and land that job I’ve been talking about for awhile will get her to realize my outlook has changed for the better? She does plan on me coming back to have a follow-up appt after being at the clinic, and she never said she couldn’t continue to work with me.) No longer will therapy be put on the back burner. I refuse to go back to see my T until I have a job secured, I’d be too embarrassed otherwise lol. Does this sound like a solid plan?
