Crushed,
The fact that she took away an option for you that will ultimately benefit you by exploring other avenues is a major red flag in my opinion. I really don't mean to rag on Ellen, but I can see how much pain you're in and it makes me want to help. It really sounds to me like she is intimidated by the fact that you have seen someone else and therefore she mentions she is "scared" by the whole thing. What is she scared of? Scared of being judged by another Therapist? Scared you may come to a realization that maybe she is not the best T for you? Let me say this once. I really think Ellen does not have YOUR best interests at heart. A lot of this seems to be about her.
Don't let her dictate to you who you can and can't see. If you really want to continue seeing the other T, do so. The fact that Ellen has taken that option away from you is ridiculous.
I asked you this question before, and I'll ask it again in this context. If you had a dughter, and she told you about what was going on with Ellen and how Ellen didn't want her seeing anyone else or else she would terminate, what would your advice be?
I don't mean to sound critical, I just have a helluva time sticking up for MYSELF and my forte lies in sticking up for others. I view babblers as part of my extended family and you are part of this family.
