My long rambling post. Sigh.
But the upshot was that this was the topic of my therapy session today. How I wanted to make only one appointment per week, because I was afraid if I made two I would keep cancelling one and he would get angry. And that I didn't think it was fair of me to put him in the middle by asking him to refuse to cancel. So I thought it would be overall best to just make one appointment a week.
He said he didn't mind risking the wrath of my rational self, and would from now on require that all cancellations have his permission. We're supposed to talk about it more on Monday.
And we also talked about my fear that he was starting to hold less magic. That part of the magic was in his old office. He thinks the magic never resided in him (or his office) but any "magic" was in the therapeutic relationship we had built over the years. By struggling through conflict and working on commitment.
Silly man.
