He is the expert. He is the big cheese and he is very experienced. I'm sure that it is not that he does not know what to do next. It does seem that everyone here likes to blame the T for everything here, please don't be offended with me saying that.

What would it mean if he doesn't know what to do next? Is it tolerable for a therapist, whom you see as an expert, to not know where to go next? I'm not saying that this is the case, but I'm just wondering how acceptable (or not) it would be for your therapist to NOT have the answers. I do wonder, though, if he is such an expert, why he thinks that you learned everything you need to learn. Most therapists who are doing long-term therapy (and it seems obvious that your T does, since you mention that you have been with him for six years) are of the idea that self-examination is a never ending process-- and that there is not a certain point in time in which you have "learned everything."

It sounds like you and your T have been through so much together. What part do you feel that he is playing in this? What part do you feel that you are playing? Is there a way that a strengthening of the relationship can come from this?
