I just have to say, I read your post and felt tension release that I didn't know I was feeling. Your description of long-term clients as not black and white in pleasantness and so forth was a relief to me. I guess I was subconsciously worrying about what my therapist had labeled me, but you are right that it's not a final decision. When therapy last that long, things change within that time.
