I told her like 2 months ago I don't think therapy works, but she keeps setting up appointments because of my anxiety I go, I cannot miss an appointment might have something to do with my time in the military.

I was in a real down mood, she asked if I wanted to come next week. She gave me an option? I could have said no. She's never given me an option in my 6 months of seeing her! I said I will be there next week.

I think she has given up on me

You always have an option: maybe you're playing Jedi mind tricks on yourself to think otherwise?

It's good to know you said yes. That indicates some part of you wants to get better.

I don't see where it shows she has given up on you at all, more like if anything, she's curious if *you've* given up on you, though I think it's most likely it was just a phrase, not necessarily super-significant unless there's something else related from the session?

Do you normally see her weekly? Or is it normally further between? It may have been an offer to see you sooner than normal. If not, I would guess it's just a way of reminding you that you have the choice of coming or not. It's up to you whether you want to be there. She may have picked up on your reluctance.

Therapists are wily. One simply has to decide, in my opinion, to go along with their wiliness or not. I generally do not, but it is a choice everyone gets to make.

Maybe she knows you have been hesitant to come back so in the past never really gave you the easy option of opting out of another session, but now feels you are in a different, better place.

I take it as a sign of her faith in you, just the opposite of her giving up on you.
