I don't think that it was a bad session, exactly. Or that he was off. Anyone who's heard me speak candidly about my therapist for any length of time wonders sometimes if I couldn't maybe go deeper... Well, I don't really want to think about it.

The main reason I go to him is to help me through the ups and downs of my mood disorder - to help me cope, and to help me center. He does a *marvelous* job at that. My suicidal thinking is way down, my self injury is way down. I manage to keep stable and functioning a lot better than I do without him. The CBT and relaxation techniques pretty much got my OCD under control.

But sometimes when my mood is stable, I want to work on interpersonal stuff, or character stuff, and my therapist just doesn't have an analytic approach. The CBT approach he tends to use doesn't really work well (with me) on those issues.

But I like what I do have, and I'm not going to give it up. :)
