Yes, not this time but before. I told him it seems like he wants to get rid of me. He said if he wanted to get rid of me, hed not work with me. But its hard to believe-no therapist is going to tell you "yes, i want to get rid of you".
Maybe its because he thinks ill kill myself and he doesnt want to deal with that? Maybe he had a client do that.
I dont agree with what you said below. Its written in books that therapists want young, attractive, educated clients who have most potential for change. At any rate, at least be likeable to the therapist.
It could be he sees no hope for me. Hes never told me otherwise.

As far as why would he want to meet with you every week... from what I have heard and read, for therapist that go for this type of therapy, it is the puzzle that drives them, the puzzle to understand the world and experiences of another. So if that is the case.. why would you want "healthier" people... I quote healthier, because none of us is healthier than another... we all have our own brand of crazy (to quote someone here) and no one is better or worse, healthier or sicker, crazier or normal than another... in this way, we are all unique snowflakes of dysfunction.
