My therapist spend an extended session (3 hours) blocking my path to the door one evening when I was extremely suicidal. If she had let me leave in that state I would be dead today. I had just started Lyrica for pain, but at the time we did not know what was causing me to be actively suicidal. I vaguely remember her pushing me back down into whatever chair that was behind me. She is a tiny little thing and I've got a good 50 plus pounds on her.(Tonight I told her she was scrappy little thing but a strong fighter.) At that point in my life I was not an easy person to reason with, with or without Lyrica, so it took a while for me to be safe to go home. She did have me come back early in the morning.

I used to record my sessions, and it really helped me to see and know exactly how things played out: tone of voice, cadence, etc. Many things that were said and done then if taken out of context, people would not have supported me staying with my therapist.

I hear your pain granite, and I only have a symbolic ((hug)) for you. I wish like others, that we could do more. You have every right to jump ship, but remember you've been here before over the many years with this therapist, and often it was do to misunderstandings, yet you both were able to move forward. This time as usual I see a different perspective than others, so I hope that you will let your therapist know how you feel about the other day.

Good luck to both of you.
