Mair -
I didn't want your post to go unanswered, but I don't know if I have any words of wisdom for you to consider. You wrote about the direction your therapy is taking, and I think that is a fair question to ask your T and discuss. I agree that reading that article would have thrown me for a loop. Anytime my T describes me, I'll tell her "now be careful". She knows I'm extremely sensitive and no matter what is said, I'll find a way to see the worse in it.

So, a clinical article would make me feel defensive. Maybe you can ask her, "I don't understand why you thought it would be helpful for me to hear that article? Can you say it in your own words?"

I'm not very good with words, but I am able to tell my T when I feel offended (in a nice way). Or I'll say, "rationally, I know this is not what you meant, but I heard ...."

I do go 3x per week (I just added the third session in Nov/Dec). It feels right for me, but it is such a personal decision, AND it is so costly. I do think the third sessions makes the relationship even more important and intense. Something to think about. Good Luck,
Annierose
