Nothing really to report. Same old same old on my end.

Come on, Brentus! Your therapist is not super-human, but human. Humans can make mistakes (say things with a tone that makes other misinterpret them or other ...). Therapy has one point to consider that is very important. Honesty from the patient. Without honesty the therapist cannot help.
I am not writing this to make you feel ashamed. I think you already know this.
If the therapist mean that shifting medication at this stage in your life is not a good idea, may be she has a good reason to say so. Remember, as a friendly reminder, that a part of the therapists job is to make the client think and rethink about "things".
I wish you well!
Greetings from a fellow-sufferer!
