I am so lucky. My insurance hooked me up with a wonderful therapist and I don't have to pay anything to see her. She's empathetic, very kind and open, warm, and pretty wise.

She seems to like me a lot.

I think I can use therapy; I suppose it will be of benefit to me.

Here's the problem. I don't want to go. I'd rather stay at home with my cats and do art work, chores, or read. My therapist likes me so much, I feel she kind of idealizes me. Frankly, it's kind of annoying.

I was in long-term (6 years) therapy when I was younger and it was of great benefit. Now I'm 55 and I'm just not sure that there's anything therapy can truly do for me, except take a couple of hours out of my week, every week.

Any ideas?
