Thanks for the replies
Twinleaf, she said a lot of things, the one that jumped out was she said I was becoming more and more like my mother. Whereas in the past that's one of my own fears and we've spent time with her having me talk myself out of that fear. It's such an issue because, well pretty much nobody wants to be like their mother! but my own mother suicided during my therapy so being told I'm becoming more like her is extra awful.
Phillipa I am not sure I understand your comment but I do appreciate the reply.
Ron, that's true, after so long it's hard to know which "devil" is worse! I was scared to quit for a long time, specifically afraid I'd backslide in functioning, but I'm just not afraid of that any more for some reason.
Raisinb, yes that is how I see it too, she wants to hang onto me. I choose to believe a lot of that is from genuine concern for my well-being. But she also seems to need to have her work validated, and I can't really fault her for having that need, but that session wasn't her finest moment!
