I think it is unfortunate that the p'doc discussed therapy in terms of wasting your time, knowing that you've been inpatient three times in the past year. I am like Cheryl27 in that I see therapy as a way to keep myself functioning in the world. I talked about quitted with long time t and she didn't encourage it. It strikes me that he responded in terms of wasting your time. Perhaps, like others suggested, it is time to switch t / modality / approach, and see the pdoc occasionally as a pdoc.
