Hey R. I appreciate your help, your suggestions were most useful. I also like that you seem to be decidedly against long-term therapy because of the dependence it can cause in the client. In the therapist too, evidently.

And, how absolutely refreshing for me, as well, to be able to say "Thank you for your help, I don't need any more sessions, I just needed the gentle nudge in the right direction that you provided" and have you say "My pleasure" and not say things that make me feel guilted into continuing like L used to do. I told you what I thought I needed, we talked about it and you helped me refine what I actually needed, then you gave me a great suggestion for working with that and I ran with it.

Ha, I always was good at "doing my homework".
