> I wrote a reply to you and now I see it never appeared - I hope this makes it. Sorry for the delay.
> I can understand why you'd object to what your therapist said. They are supposed to remain neutral and let you sort out your own stuff. There were a couple of times I was upset with things my therapist said (or didn't say that I would have liked him to have said). I brought it up, though it was hard, and talking it out helped. In my case it was mostly me putting a negative spin, distorting. I'm not at all saying that's what you are doing. But it does help to address it. I know when things feel out of synch with me and him (rarely) it is extremely distressing for me. But talking it out has always had a very positive result. Let me know what happens. Good luck.

JennyR, thank you for your kind words! i think you're the only person who replied to what i posted. i feel puzzled and hurt about him saying, "so just do it!" and his angry tone, since it was such a change from his usual kind, compassionate demeanor. maybe it is a therapeutic intervention, to get me to get off my butt, i don't know. i made another appt. but am seriously canceling it since i feel that since i can't just "file" i am a total failure and wasting his time. i still feel very afraid. i decreased my Effexor-XR from 375 to 300 mg/day and will try decreasing it further if i decide not to go back, since i won't be able to take it without going back to my pdoc. in the meantime, i've run into him and work and avoided even eye contact because i'm afraid he'll pick up on my being upset. i still think the world of him, have a crush on him, think he's the greatest, but don't want to talk to him if he's sick and tired of my procrastinating and not changing fast enough. i should be able to take action but feel kind of paralyzed and don't know how to break out of this, but will keep trying. hope things are getting better for you, JennyR!
