Thanks, Lemon. I think I may do that, possibly keep my next Friday session, but it would still give me a week. And, well, I could decide about that session with 24 hours notice. I can do that with any of them, but I'd rather just say "I need a week--please take me off for Monday and Wednesday" than keep deciding 24 hours in advance.

I'll sleep on it. I don't want to cancel sessions then attempt to reschedule and have nothing be available (especially as one time, he said he was tempted to not reschedule me for spite, but he realized that would be immature).

It also bothered me that at first, he questioned my saying I might be in a major depressive episode. I said I was picking up Zoloft (SSRI) later today, and he was like, "That's for longer-term use, not an acute episode." And I was like, "I think this has been going on for some time." I wanted to be like, "Yes, I'm familiar with Zoloft, moron--I was on it for a few years while I was seeing you in the past."

He did seem more compassionate when I was describing symptoms unrelated to him/the move in the last few months. (Like more trouble sleeping than usual, not feeling enthusiastic about things I generally like to do, lack of motivation and energy, etc.)I said that maybe the stuff with the move was a symptom, not the cause. He seemed to agree about the idea of depression in the end. But should I have to try to convince my therapist that I'm depressed?
