So I finally gave him the summary today and we took the session to go through it in some detail. I also finally voiced my wish to keep him as my therapist when the hours the insurer pays for are used up. As he had some real concerns working with me at the start (which he never took back), I wasn't sure of the outcome of this discussion.

The outcome is what I hoped for, I think. He said that he could see I needed (his) help and that I was accepting it and working more on myself in my own time than most if not all patients he had known. He said if we both felt when the hours were up that this relationship was still of benefit to me, he would certainly not end it and we would find a way to keep working together. He said that he did choose to work with me and that maybe he should have clarified it at some point in the past.

I haven't shown him or mentioned the poem, but I might still.
