So in your other recent thread you noted that you have been feeling better and therefore have seen your T in a more negative light. Is it possible that this negativity you felt about your T prompted you to essentially say, "hey, my friend thinks you are a bad therapist for me." Setting it up that way might lead the T to think that *you* think she's a bad therapist, and she wants to give you a graceful way out if that's what you want. That maybe you framed it in this way rather as something more neutral like, "I'm wondering how much progress I'm making on my therapy goals and whether I should shift my focus in therapy."

Are you hurt because you expected her to defend herself or your therapy or say, "gee Crook, I LOVE working with you" and beg you not to leave her? Because nothing like that is ever going to happen, it's unethical for them to persuade you to stay in therapy.

But if you look at the language she used as reported by you ("may not be a bad idea" and "could go try new T's," I hear nothing rejecting or terminating about it. I'm not sure your title "T want. . ." is even accurate. She may in fact want you to continue therapy with her but she can't say that.

Since I think she was merely tossing an idea out there about what you *could* do, you could return to her and say something like, "I thought about it some more, seeing another T, and I've decided I don't want to do that (if that's true). Just tell her how you feel and what you want. It's up to you to stay or leave.
