I voted "other" because there wasn't an option for "no". Sometimes I wonder if this is a problem for me that gets in the way of therapy being more effective, that I hold myself together so much and don't let my guards down enough in session. With my most recent therapist though (that I fired less than 2 weeks ago), I believe it was also that I did not have a good fit in him as a person I would feel really comfortable letting it go with. I never even cried with him. I know I can do that with people I really trust and am close to but never felt that way about my last therapist; we also had a lot of personality and emotional incompatibilities that had become clear with time. One reason why I decided to terminate with him. I would really like to have a therapist one day with whom I can experience the kind of meltdowns described here although knowing myself, I'm certain it would take a lot for me to get there.
