Karen, it does sound like a horrid few days. I think what you need to do is decide what's best for *you*. I've been concerned about your therapist wanting you to think about your father for an hour a day, and now this. Is it in *your* best interests to do all this to keep him? What options do you have? I know you don't have much time left in the area you're in, but would it be better for *you* to change to a more experienced therapist who could see you individually for the remainder of your time?

How much freedom does your therapist have. Is he an employee of this organization? Does his supervisor have final say? Are you limited to this place for your treatment, or can you look elsewhere? Does his supervisor have any alternative suggestions?

Sigh. I don't understand why depression would cover you for more individual sessions, while bipolar doesn't. And it stinks that you have to play games to get treatment.

I'm sorry I'm doing nothing but asking questions, but I really want to see you get the treatment you need, not the treatment that your therapist needs you to have.

Take care of yourself, ok?
