Maybe next time he questions your need to attend therapy, perhaps say something like this: "Now is really a low time in my life. I'm very unhappy. So I'm trying to see if I can get help with this by seeing a therapist. If you have any other ideas, please let me know." What would he say to this? I want you to be unhappy the rest of your life so don't see the therapist?

I just hate talking about H, even though he is a lot of my problem.

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">I can so relate to that! Last time toward the end of the session, my T asked me if there was anything else I wanted to discuss. I said, yes, but that there wasn't enough time. He asked what it was about and I said "me." He said he was going to put a bookmark there and we could talk about it next time. He's never done that before. I wonder if he will remember? Anyway, I get what you mean about not wanting to talk about your H, but yeah, sometimes it's necessary.

My brain will be reeling over-and-over the "when will I know its time for me to stop question?

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">If you still want to go, then the time to stop is not now. Maybe you can get reassurance from your T on this. From what you've written, therapy has been a positive experience for you, you've grown a lot, and look at how therapy is affecting your interactions with others--the student in the graduation story is a wonderful example. So what would be the reason to quit now? Are all your problems solved? Are you no longer learning anything? Are you no longer growing? You deserve this, chaotic, don't let your H affect what you know to be true.
